=46reeBSD supports Java and has for some time.  As far as I know, any JRE o=
r JDK=20
based on Java 1.4.2 or 1.5.0 will support both AWT and Swing.

A recent development made it much easier to obtain and run run "native"=20
=46reeBSD java packages, obviating the need in most cases to run a Linux bi=
nary=20
and/or to compile the JDK from source.  See=20
