[gentoo-bsd] Java

[Nicholas Stecike]

hey guys,

I installed Gentoo/FreeBSD onto my desktop the other day. At the moment 
i am looking to install some type of Java onto my desktop for various 
reasons.

Most of the Java builds in portage seam to depend on one Linux compenent 
or another.
(now for the question)

What Java build should i use on my Gentoo/FreeBSD install?

Nicholas,

I couldn't say which build you would need (as I havn't yet had the chance to
install Gentoo/FreeBSD ;), but FYI, Java binaries can be found here:

http://freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml

Of course you couldn't just install them with pkg_add as you normally would
on a FreeBSD, but I believe all of the necessary binaries, etc. install to
/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0. So if you happen to have a spare machine to host
a temporary FreeBSD install on, then a workaround could be to instal the
package there and then just bring the directory over to the new system.

All, of course, assuming you can't use the Gentoo Linux build... Anyway,
just a shot in the dark...
