 It might be easier for you to just use the java/diablo-jdk15 port, which
 installs precompiled binaries.

Although I have, with the much appreciated help from people here,
successfully installed the jdk15 port in between, I thought about
diablo-jdk15, too. Would there be any difference between both ports
in terms of compatibility, features, and performance from the
viewpoint of the Java developer and user?

  There are some license restrictions on distribution of jdk  
binaries.  In order to be distributable, jdk binaries need to pass  
Sun's test suite (TCK).  So the Diablo binary passes, and is  
distributation.  The port, is just source, and does not require  
testing.  A binary built from the port may or may not pass,  
depending on the current state of development.  There can be  
regressions as things change in the OS, and linked in packages.   
The jdk has a fair number of dependencies, so it is pretty easy to  
blow-up a jdk build.


I see. Thanks for the clarification!

 That may well be the case. I assumed the port installed it as a
 dependency, but I didn't really look close. Thanks for the hint!
 I'll report back later.

It was indeed the Linux compatibility bits missing [1], including,
of course, the linprocfs. Why this caused syntax errors while
compiling Java code is beyond me, though.

Thanks for the help!

 You could also install the native diablo-jdk15 port instead of a Linux
 one.

I was installing the native port /usr/ports/java/jdk15, only it
needs the Linux JDK 1.4.2 to compile the Java sources.

But indeed I was ignorant of the diablo port. What is the relation
between these two ports anyway? I do not really get the difference,
in spite of http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml.

Hm. I cannot imagine how this could lead to the problems I saw, but 
another thing to try. Thanks!

Problems installing JDK 1.5

2007-02-26 Thread Juergen Nickelsen
Hello,

on a more or less newly installed machine with 5.5-STABLE (updated
recently) I tried to install JDK 1.5 via /usr/ports/. After
retrieving all necessary files, the build failed quite mysteriously,
even more so as I had succeeded with another machine fine last year.

In the build protocol the problems seem to begin like this:

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location 
/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/bsd-i586/gensrc/sun/nio/cs/StandardChar\
sets.java:226: identifier expected 

and then a series of other errors in the Java code; as if it is
compiled using the wrong compiler version. It looks weird to me, as
I think I fetched the correct files and did everything as carefully
as last year.

Is this a known problem? Does anyone know a way around it? Is the
port currently broken, perhaps?

Details can be found in http://www.schlabun.org/screenlog.2; and
I'll gladly provide more details if necessary.

Regards, Juergen.
