just to give you a quick respond (without having a look at the
handbook).

There are quite some jdk related ports in the ports tree.

jdk13/ and jdk14/ in die portdir/java directory are for installing
nativ built java developement kits(sun version).

if you want use it via linux compatibilty there are the linux prebuildt
from sun (linux-sun-jdk*).

if you dont want to use sun's jdks, then there is also the blackdown
projects's jdks (linux-blackdown-jdk*) and there are the ones from ibm
(linux-ibm-jdk14).

if you are unsure, i propose you to chose either jdk14/ or
linux-sun-jdk14.

greets, josef
