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. Supported JDK® 1.5.x JDK 1.5 support is available. Currently supported versions are FreeBSD 4.8 and later (for i386 and amd64 architectures). JDK® 1.6.x JDK 1.6 support is available. Currently supported versions are FreeBSD 6.2 and later (for i386 and amd64 architectures). JDK® 1.7.x JDK 1.7 support is available. Currently supported versions are FreeBSD 7.0 and later (for i386 and amd64 architectures). Unsupported Anything prior to FreeBSD 2.2 (such as FreeBSD 2.1.7.1) was never supported in any way. JDK® 1.0.x JDK 1.0.2 is unsupported. It was a.out, and would only run on older FreeBSD systems (up to 4.x). JDK® 1.1.x JDK 1.1.8 is unsupported. It would also only run on older FreeBSD systems (up to 4.x). Two separate binaries were provided for both X and non-X systems. JDK® 1.2.x JDK2 (aka 1.2) is unsupported. The history is preserved in the former jdk12 port that can be found in the CVS ports repository Attic. JDK® 1.3.x JDK 1.3 is unsupported. The history is preserved in the former jdk13 port that can be found in the CVS ports repository Attic. JDK® 1.4.x JDK 1.4 is unsupported.
