My custom use freeBSD 4.7 release and ask me to install JDK1.4 on it .
But when I use ports to compile JDK , the system show me a message :
You must have a version of FreeBSD later than 4.7-STABLE February 2003
or 5-CURRENT February 2003 to compile and use JDK 1.4.2.
So I have to update my 4.7 release to 4.7 stable . But I do not know
how to do make it . I've looking everywhere but could not find any
clear document about it . Please help me !
AFAIK there is no such thing as 4.7-STABLE, just 4-STABLE and the
handbook page on tags bears this out. (4-STABLE would be improvements
from the *latest* 4 release which is 4.11. If you won't go to 4.8 then
4-STABLE is the stuff of your nightmares.

RELENG_4 The line of development for FreeBSD-4.X, also known as FreeBSD
4-STABLE
PS : I'm not going to upgrade my kernel 4.7 to 4.8 or anything else ,
just 4.7 only . Thank for reading !
No-one here can stop you shooting yourself in the foot. The release
engineering page clearly states:
FreeBSD 4.7 security fix branch (not officially supported).
so I guess you are own your own.
Not upgrading a critical machine to 5.X I could understand, but not
upgrading from 4.7 another 4.X release I find incomprehensible.
