Those Java binaries for FreeBSD 6.1 should work on all versions till 6.3.
Personally as I said earlier I though I would never have to ask how to compile Java as I can not stand Java to put it mildly. Actually as much as I like SUN hardware I could not care less for their software but unfortunately I have to use it on daily basis (MySQL, OpenOffice, and now Java)

I wouldn't know, I have not used the PBI files since, heck probably PC-BSD 1.1 or older.

Over 'differences' of opinion about PBI and more then a few sour feelings on the matter, I don't use PBI files often: the last was installing Firefox PBI after flock broke to avoid compile times and package dependency lines.


What part of Java causes you the most trouble?


I've found the language itself quite logical, just the sun toolset and associated infurstructure to be a p.i.t.a. to put to work.
