  <p>The &openjdk; project provides an open-source implementation of the &java;
    SE Platform and is available in versions 6 and 7 for all supported
    FreeBSD releases on the i386 and amd64 platforms.  Both versions can be
    installed by building from sources using the FreeBSD Ports Collection
    (<code>openjdk6</code> and <code>openjdk7</code>, respectively) and
    are also distributed as a prebuilt binary package via the FreeBSD mirrors
    and can be installed directly using <code>pkg_add(1)</code>.</p>

  <p>&openjdk; is the recommended &java; implementation on FreeBSD.
    The FreeBSD Foundation is no longer providing supported &java; &jdk; and
    &jre; packages based on Sun's partner sources.  Older packages for &java;
    &jdk; and &jre; 5.0 and 6.0 are still available below for reference and
    legacy use only, but are no longer supported.</p>

  <p>Further information about downloading the unsupported binaries is
    available from the
    <a href="http://www.FreeBSDFoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml">FreeBSD
    Foundation &java; Downloads</a> page.</p>
