I believe NetBSD uses essentially the same Java ports as FreeBSD does, so your asking this question here is perhaps less futile than it first appears. However, you'll find that asking about NetBSD packages on a NetBSD list will be much more rewarding in the long run. Anyway, the answer is that while there is are several native Java ports for FreeBSD, I can't find equivalents in the official NetBSD pkgsrc. There's this: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-java/2003/07/06/0000.html and this: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2000/05/02/0001.html Otherwise there are several linux J2SE packages -- this would seem to be the indicated way to get a Java implementation up and running in a reasonable amount of time on NetBSD. If you want to try porting over the FreeBSD stuff: See http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml for some approved versions of JRE 1.3.1 and JDK 1.3.1. These are for IA32 architecture only. You might be able to run them under emulation on NetBSD. Otherwise, there are ports of JDK-1.4.1 available as source, which you will have to compile yourself, after jumping through all of the required hoops to get the source code. The downloading instructions you need to follow are in the port Makefile: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/java/jdk14/ As I said, no idea if this will compile correctly on NetBSD, plus (Catch 22) you will need a working JDK-1.4.1 in order to compile JDK-1.4.1 And finally, there is this: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/lang/wonka/README.html which I quite honestly had never heard of before I found it on the NetBSD site a few minutes ago and which I have no idea if it's any good or not.
