As the previous posters have pointed out, there are no JDK binary packages available for OpenBSD 4.3--you have to fetch and build the JDK from source yourself. But in OpenBSD 4.4 (which will be released in November), that situation will change, and binary packages for Java will be available. See http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20080321023803

Type 'make' in the appropriate ports directory you will get an error message telling you exactly what to download manually. It took about 10 hours to build an a PIII 800MHz Thinkpad and you need a few GB diskspace - works perfectly!

See > http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20080321023803 Installing JDK manually is a royal pain at the moment. Clicking all those websites, accepting license agreements, downloading and then compiling the whole thing _does_ take hours. It would be really awesome to have Java available as package as of 4.4!

Does it mean web browser plugin availability too?

Re: Lastet supported jdk on OpenBSD
That too. And the plugin case is somewhat worse, since as far as I know, Sun still hasn't released the proper license for the browser plugin, so, no packages for it even on -current. As others pointed out, if you're running -current, you can already install the jdk or jre packages.
