Apparant java catch-22

2006-02-05 Thread Gene
I've been trying to get java installed for some months now and I can't get past the point shown below. It seems that the port is looking for an already installed version of java. I've looked at various how-tos, and the java pages at freebsd.org, but no help. Is there some way around this catch-22?
