Part of it is probably that my understanding of the Java scene only goes so far. :) 1) What is the significance of the "Diablo" name prefix? How does a "Diablo" JDK differ from a non-Diablo one? 2) Under what circumstances would I want to install the JRE (or "latte") vs the JDK (or "caffe")? I believe the JDK contains the JRE, correct? 3) If "most users" want the jre/jdk vs. caffe/latte, then why does java/diablo-jdk15 download diablo-caffe instead of diablo-jdk? 4) If I run "pkg_add -r jdk15" at this point, what gets installed? 5) Still not really clear on the differences between the caffe and latte tarballs and the jdk/jre packages. Can someone help this dense user? Thanks
