All JDK starting from 1.2 are OK.  Use ports in /usr/ports/java/jdk*.

Re: Which version of Java to use?

2003-11-12 Thread Javier Soques
I can only speak on my recent experience with FreeBSD
5.1. I failed installing most of the ports (I tried
lots so I don't remember, don't know if I did the
right steps) the only port that worked perfectly was
the Linux-Blackdown 1.3.x series.  Of course you have
to install the linux base libraries. Then I downloaded
the Sun JDK 1.4.0 version for Linux and it also works
fine, I tried the 1.4.1 version and it core dumped. 
I've been using the 1.4.0 setup with Jakarta Tomcat
5.1 and OpenEJB 0.94 without problems (development
enviroment).

Bye

I'm no java guy but regarding the latest commit message I think 1.4.2:

jdk14 java   Java Development Kit 1.4.2 
Update to 1.4.2p5.

Important changes since last patchset:

. jdk14 port is now JDK 1.4.2 based!
. JavaWS distributing with jdk
. Runway problem fixed (fork() is no more problem for java apps)
. Sound support updated
. IPv6 support overhauled
. Drag'n'Drop support fixed (require open-motif mods)

As for now there's no more outstanding issues with this port!

FreeBSD port is also got a important of changes:

. optimized setup is now default (to get debuging bins/libs use WITH_DEBUG)

. bootstrap jdk autodetection.  If WITH_LINUX_BOOTSTRAP is not set, then
  it checks all known to work JDKs installed.  If nothing found, forces
  to install of linux-sun-jdk14

. Because of above change there's no NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP option anymore.  If
  native jdk14 is installed, it will be used by default.

I want to install Java to use Ant/Tomcat/Struts stuff like that. Which JDK is the 
"right" one to install to get these to work properly? Can anyone tell me?
