Your new package is good, because with the ported patches java will finally
run on FreeBSD. However, this reworked version seems to have an incomplete
libawt that depends at least on a missing Motif installation. That's not so
nice, but something we'll have to live with. Just be aware that to use the new
'solid' OpenPKG J2SE package you'll need Motif libraries installed to run any
AWT apps.

  $ /sw/bin/java -jar /tmp/helloworld/hello.jar

Also, I don't know where you saw that Sun releases 1.4 as bleeding edge. 1.4
is old enough that Sun EOLed it. Today's official Sun release is 1.4.1_02.
J2SE 1.3.X is in maintenance mode for backward compatibility only, as far as I
know.
