FreeBSD 8 + Java = Pain in The Ass

Have you ever had any success installing a java, JDK on a FreeBSD box. Specially FreeBSD 8 RELEASE #1?

I got a headache with it.

Why FreeBSD? Dont ask me. It was just given like that i couldn't complaint nor allowed to reinstall the machine with linux.

Did almost all reading and googling but none of them seems to be working :( &R@)DF@*&TC D!@CDS(

install diablo-jdk16 OK

problem running java both jdk n jre from installed diablo-jdk16

diablo should be a boot strap to install ports java/jdk15 and java/jdk16. Both failed to install :(
