to give you a confidence boost, I very recently built jdk14 on a 5.3-RELEASE machine *by the instructions*, and it built without problems, and apps were able to find it afterwards. If that's all that's keeping from starting from scratch, don't worry about java; it's not that bad.
Does anyone know if JDK1.5 is going to be supported by FreeBSD? I have some JDK1.5 apps that I've written for Linux that I would like to run on FreeBSD. I've been unsuccessful in getting JDK1.5 running through Linux emulation too.
Alexey Zelkin just announced on [EMAIL PROTECTED] that he had succeeded in porting JDK-1.5 to the extent that it is now self-hosting:

Public beta testing releases are expected in January.
