Unfortunately, Freenet requires Java 1.4.x JVM, because it relies on nio (non-blocking input/output) API only available in 1.4.x. For the same reason, Freenet can't be run under open-source JVMs - Classpath's nio implementation is buggy (this _should_ change in the near future).
Also, 1.4.0 had some known nio problems, so its not recommended as well.
