FreeBSD Java™ Project: Distributions

This is the official port of Sun's Java™ Development Kit for FreeBSD. No known significant bugs exist at this time, but there are no guarantees of usability. However, many commercial companies rely on this port, so it should be safe to use.

We currently have support for 2.2.x, 3.x and 4-CURRENT FreeBSD Systems for JDK 1.1.8. Included is support for both X and non-X systems as two separate binaries.

Anything prior to FreeBSD 2.2 (such as FreeBSD 2.1.7.1) is not supported in either JDK 1.1.8 or JDK 1.2.
