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?
