In case you have any problems of using the ports/pkgs, please try the following: a) Get a stable system to have the system installed (at best, Single Processor one) b) Install the required packages such as xorg-6.9.0, open-motif, etc, from source (and turn on the -g debugflag if your're good at gdb) c) fetch the SCSL or any formal Licenced source code from Sun Micro, Inc and compile the jdk by either using the Linux-jdk or your previously freebsd-based jdk(1.4+) d) test your problematic 'jdk-specific' issues and see if problems occur again. Be frank, I hate to see noises from using only pkg_add way of packages and claim an PR. you, the administrator of your system, is responsible to make it well-behave as it should. Please leave the developers in more platform support, such as sparc64, ia64, alpha, etc. and better java-plugin, jws support and so on.
