To run, no. To build, what Matthew said.

 You don't need a full installation of XFree86: all you need are the
 devel/imake4 and the x11/XFree86-4-libraries ports.

Although if you're doing any AWT stuff server-side (eg, rendering
graphics on the fly for delivery by servlet) you may find you need this:

JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true

I believe the 1.4 release notes for Java include details about its
somewhat improved (ie, it works) headless support.

Hey Guys,

Do I need to have X Windows installed for Java to 1.4 to run on FreeBSD 5.1?

Thanks
