There is a port for J2SE 5 in /usr/ports/java/jdk15. It's still marked
as alpha quality though. There are *no* packages available for the
port due to licencsing restrictions by Sun. Follow the instructions
given by the port to install it.

J2SE 5.0

[Vizion]

Hi

I want to install J2SE 5.0 or equivalent on FreeBSD 5.3. I have gone through 
the distfiles and cannot see anything which indicates there is a freebsd port 
available or information about incorporation of latest sun upgrades. 

Does anyone know what is the best way to go about this. Will the sun downlaod 
install OK on FreeBSD 5.3.

What is the best source of information about java on freebsd.

Thanks in advance
