Re: Help Installing Sun JDK on FreeBSD

2008-06-16 Thread triggerme2ice

Ok so it seems i still have some other issues... :(

I have previously successfully installed the diablo JDK on the official
compatible versions (FreeBSD 5.5 and 6.1) But I need to have JDK installed
in numerous versions of FreeBSD. In this case i need it on 5.0 version

The problem I have now is getting it installed in my FreeBSD 5.0 system
So i tried to pkg_add the diablo-jdk-freebsd5.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz from this 
http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml website   (the package
is meant for FreeBSD5.5, but its the closest thing available for the 5.0) 
Like in all the other times I've installed it (on the compatible
versions)... it asked for the XORG libraries and the javavmwrapper-2.0_6. I
managed to install the XORG Libraries manually and it works... so the only
thing i am not able to install is the javavmwrapper which i need

I've tried numerous methods:

Method 1:
cd /usr/ports/java/javavmwrapper
make install clean
The result make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
And yes my ports tree is updated

Method 2:
pkg_add -r
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/Latest/javavmwrapper.tbz
In this method not only does it display the ...is in the future messages,
but at the end it says
pkg_add: write_plist: unknown command type -1 (kaffe-1.*)


Can anyone please let me know how i can get javavmwrapper installed so i can
install the JDK on FreeBSD5.0???

Best Java 1.6 JDK for FreeBSD?

2008-05-07 Thread Gunther Mayer

Hi guys,

We're currently running a busy java web application with diablo-jdk 1.5 
and jboss 4.0.5 on FreeBSD 6.2 (yes it's outdated, will upgrade to 6.3 
very soon). That combination has proven to be very stable in the past. 
Now we'd like to start making use of some 1.6 only features in the app 
and thus were wondering about 1.6 support on java.


Now seeing that there's no diablo jdk for 1.6 afaict I have three options:

  1. Use linux-sun-jdk 1.6 using the linux compatibility layer
  2. Use the native FreeBSD jdk 1.6
 (http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/status.html) but which
 is officially only beta quality
  3. Forget about 1.6 altogether and stick to 1.5 semantics in our code

Which one do you think is the most stable option? Well, the way I've put 
it 3. clearly is the most stable but I'd like an honest consideration of 
1. and 2. Does anybody use 1.6 in production on FreeBSD? What have your 
experiences been?

I have not been using it in FreeBSD but I had to downgrade jdk to 1.5 on my 
Ubuntu machine in order to get my browsers to work correctly.  For this 
reason, I would stay away from it in FreeBSD as well, for the time being.

JDK for FreeBSD 7

A quick question:

1.  Based on the following available downloads:
http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml

seems like there is no SW available for the FreeBSD 7 stable
release?... pls confirm?

2.  Is there a way of (sorry for the naive question) running the
latest for FBSD6 into 7?  kind of like downloading source and
compiling?  if so, any pointers to where I can get source and
instructions?

Jdk 1.4.2 + FreeBSD 5.1 = applet fails

2003-12-14 Thread Ricardo Britto
Greetings!

I've just installed jdk1.4.2 via ports on my FreeBSD 5.1. I've already
tested java compiler and interpreter and seems to be ok. Also, I have
run an applet demo that is included with jdk - ok!

But the problem is when I try to open an applet in a remote site (ICQ
Go! for example). It always fails on opening and create a java core
dump file. I've already tested with Konqueror, Opera, Mozilla and
Mozilla Firebird browsers: all can run applets locally (except for opera).

There are some messages that appear. One example in Opera (with the
option -javadebug):

opera: [java] failed to load libawt.so:
/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386//libawt.so: Undefined symbol __xuname
opera: [java] failed to load libjawt.so:
/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386//libawt.so: Undefined symbol __xuname
opera: [java] failed to load a suitable awt library.  Java will not work

I searched in internet and found that some people are having the some
problem, but no solutions had been provided.

Any suggestions?

PS: I've already tried to install:
diablojdk (doesn't run on free 5.1)
linux-ibm-jdk14 (errors)

   of the native jdk to install on the other boxes.
 
  It's likely just me.  But on one of three BSD servers I have
  java (linux) working happily with mozilla.  The other two may
  have upgrade/dependency probledms... or else gremlins
  that say Huh? regarding jdk-131.
 
  There are probably dozens of us, if not billions, who would
  profit from a step-by-step tutorial style write up on this.
 
  Dunno about anyone else, but at least I would love to shuck
  the linux stuff and go native FreeBSD.  Anybody willing?
 
 
 same here...

Hmmm... I keep thinking that I should write up some of the stuff I put
out on this list more formally and stick it on a web site somewhere.
Wotthehell, I'm willing to give this a go this weekend.

But first, what exactly is missing from the referenced article?

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/java-tomcat/index.html

This seems pretty comprehensive to me, although it could do with a few
small updates to cover the latest versions of java and tomcat.

Any other topics? Getting the java plugin to work with Mozilla should
be mentioned, but that's one of those things where it should just
work by installing the jdk13 port, so it's hard to know what else to
say on the subject.

Cheers,

Matthew

December 22, 2001:

This was posted to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

The FreeBSD Foundation has secured a license from Sun Microsystems to 
distribute a native FreeBSD version of both the Java Development Kit 
(JDK) and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Thanks to the great 
efforts of the FreeBSD Java team, these should be available for 
inclusion with the upcoming release of FreeBSD 4.5 in January, 2002.

Has the FBSD-native JDK/JRE ever been released?  Is the 
FBSD-native Java environment merely the Sun source + the patches from 
eyesbeyond.com?  What is meant by [java will be] available for 
inclusion from above?  An inclusion strategy analogous to Perl, or 
more like gcc?  Or, is this as included as it's going to get?

 unauthorized-by-Sun JDK, there's nothing to stop you going through the
 download, install linux jdk, download, compile, install native jdk
 rigmarole on just one of the machines, and then build your own package
 of the native jdk to install on the other boxes.
 

It's likely just me.  But on one of three BSD servers I have
java (linux) working happily with mozilla.  The other two may
have upgrade/dependency probledms... or else gremlins
that say Huh? regarding jdk-131.  

There are probably dozens of us, if not billions, who would
profit from a step-by-step tutorial style write up on this.

Dunno about anyone else, but at least I would love to shuck
the linux stuff and go native FreeBSD.  Anybody willing?

 Hi, all

 I need a jsp engine on freebsd. One installation on
 linux from my office works great so far. What's the
 status and how stable JDK are on freebsd? Which jdk
 version will you recommend? Is there any ready-to-go
 package available or I must build it from port?
   
There is a article suitable for this topic:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/java-tomcat/index
   .html
  
 This is really fairly rediculous; is this the native FBSD JDK:
  
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/java-tomcat/x35.htm
  l ?
  
   Why the dependancy on the Linux JDK?  Why bother with a native JDK if
   you need the Linux one, anyway, and can run it instead (via the
   already-required Linux compatibility)?
 
  You need a linux JDK to do the first time installation of the native
  JDK -- both for jdk13 and jdk14.  Once you've got a native jdk
  compiled and installed, you can pkg_delete the linux jdk, and use the
  native jdk to compile updated versions of itself (via the
  NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP=yes make flag).  One of the really annoying things
  about java is that you can't compile and install JDK 1.4.1 using any
  flavour of JDK 1.3.1, so if you want both JDK versions, you've got to
  go through the whole install process from scratch each time.
 
  You need linux-compat as one of the linux JDK's dependencies.  Once
  you have dispensed with the linux JDK you could probably dispense with
  the whole linux compat stuff as well.  The native JDK works just fine
  without.
 
  On the other hand, if you've got a whole row of machines to install

JDK for freeBSD ...

2002-11-12 Thread Richman Sjarief
hi,
my name is Richman Sjarief from indonesia.
:)

i have this problem,
i don't have any idea about JDK source for freeBSD :(
since java.sun.com doesn't provide java for FreeBSD
platform. A lot of people said that i should take the
linux version but i still can't figure out about
extracting .bin files in FreeBSD.

Is it true that java JDK doesn't provide the FreeBSD
OS version

i appreciate for your help a lot ... :)

best regard,


Richman Sjarief

Install the JDK via the ports collection. There are several versions of 
the jdk available. It's a labor-intensive install, with some manual 
downloading from Sun's site, but if you follow the instructions, it works 
like a charm.

I have jdk-1.3.1 installed from the ports. For information on working with 
the ports system, hit the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html

it's probably available in several languages :)

 i appreciate for your help a lot ... :)

Good luck - JB

JDK is in the ports collection at /usr/ports/java/jdk13, also you can
take a look at http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk13.html.
If you try to build the port, it will tell you to manually fetch the
appropriate files from suns web site and it will also direct you to the
above site to download the FreeBSD patches.  I know nothing about Java
or JDK, except that I had to install these things for the OpenOffice
build.
