Binary packages are not available for Java for FreeBSD 5*. You'll have to build java from source code. Since FreeBSD is not allowed to distribute the source code, you'll have to download the source code manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/. Then go back to your ports directory and install the port: cd /usr/ports/java/jdk13/ make install If you haven't downloaded the source code, the installation process will stop and tell you where to get the appropriate files. You can get more information regarding Java on FreeBSD from: http://www.freebsd.org/java/ Best of luck, Andrew Gould
