Try these links though (unofficial, not FreeBSD supported but based off the FreeBSD patchset for jdk16 used with blackdown-jdk I think..): http://even.archlinux-br.org/blog/64bits-suns-java-plugin-with-jre-for-archlinux This issue seems to be a noted issue on the Sun forums as well: http://forums.java.net/jive/message.jspa?messageID=260879 but AFAICT all that Sun did was yank the links off their page.
