<h1><FONT COLOR="#660000">Java for FreeBSD: UNSUPPORTED</FONT></h1>
<H3>JDK 1.0.x</H3>
<P>Although it is noted below, this distribution is no longer found on freefall.FreeBSD.org. If you can find this port, feel free to use it. :)
<PRE>
Announcement
------------
A native FreeBSD binary distribution of the JDK 1.0.2 is now available from
freefall.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS/jdk102.tar.gz
This port contains the java interpreter, compiler, and appletviewer.
This is a completely unsupported distribution.
Installation
------------
1. Grab freefall.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS/jdk102.tar.gz.
2. Create a directory and untar the FreeBSD distribution in there.
3. Install the pdksh port.
Running the JDK
---------------
If your JDK directory is rooted at &lt;jdk&gt;, you need to set
1. your path to include the &lt;jdk&gt;/bin directory
2. CLASSPATH environment variable to .:&lt;jdk&gt;/classes
3. LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include &lt;jdk&gt;/lib/i386
To compile a java program, invoke 'javac program.java'.
To run it, use 'java &lt;name of main class&gt;'.
Answers to Common Questions
---------------------------
Q: Do I need Motif?
A: No.
Q: Which version of FreeBSD does this work on?
A: I run the current version of FreeBSD, so that's the only version which
I've verified. /*"FreeBSD-current?" -comment added by Dave Hummel, not
original author */
Q: It doesn't work on my machine. What do I do?
A: You are out of luck. This is a completely unsupported distribution.

<h1><FONT COLOR="#660000">Java for FreeBSD: JDK 1.1.x</FONT></h1>

<H3>README.FreeBSD:</H3>
<PRE>
JDK1.1.8 for FreeBSD
--------------------
Fixed in this release:
- Printing from the JDK should now work reliably.
- Updated to now use the assembly version of the interpreter. Performance
should be increased.
- Better handling of signals like DIVIDE and SIGFPE which are trapped and
handled correctly now.
- The ELF version should work better with AWT/Swing applications. The
FreeBSD project donated a more modern copy of Motif that should avoid
some weird X errors that occurred previously.
For best results, we suggest you run the most recent releases of FreeBSD,
which are 2.2.8 for the a.out releases, and FreeBSD 3.2R, to take advantage
of the fixes in those releases.
If you find bug or have bug-fixes you'd like to see integrated, please send
email to 'java-port@FreeBSD.org' so we can make future releases even better.
Known Bugs/Limitations:
------------------------------------
The number of sockets that can be used at any one time is hard-coded ahead
of time (at this time, it's 2000). This is not necessarily a limitation of
the FreeBSD kernel, but coming up with a 'dynamic' scheme is non-trivial so
none of the developers has written the code, and and no-one else has
provided any patches to the development team. If this is important to you,
we welcome any patches to provide a more 'dynamic' scheme that doesn't limit
the number of file descriptors (sockets).
------------------------------------
To make a a distribution that works without X *and* with X, two binaries
are provided. The first is linked without X, and is the standard binary.
The second binary is linked against a static version of X, and against
the shared X libraries. The version used is controlled by the setting
of the DISPLAY environment variable, which is used by X to determine
where to send the output.

<P>General instructions can be found in the FreeBSD Handbook, under <A HREF="http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/porting.html">Porting Applications</A>.
<P>For Java ports, there are unofficial standards:
<P><PRE>
1) If it's a library then jar files go into:
/usr/local/share/java/classes/
2) If it's a stand-alone application then jar files go into:
/usr/local/share/java/&lt;application-name&gt;/
and scripts to run it go into:
/usr/local/bin/
3) Documentation goes into:
/usr/local/share/doc/java/&lt;application-name&gt;/

<P>The more ported applications we have, the better.

<P><B><FONT COLOR="#660000">So you want to help, do you?</FONT></B></P>
<P>Working on the JDK port requires a firm grasp of C, the FreeBSD architecture, and a lot of time to spare. The changes that need to be made in the code have to do with how FreeBSD differs from Solaris, so if you don't know these, you will not go very far in the port. We have
had many people say they are willing to help, but when they see what is involved, they drop away.
<P>Having been dutifully warned, here is what you need to do to get involved:
<OL>
<LI><B>Obtain a license from Sun for the source code</B>
<UL>
<LI><B>For JDK 1.1.x</B> You will need to obtain a &quot;Non-Commercial License&quot; This is done at <A HREF="http://www.javasoft.com/nav/business/source_form.html">http://www.javasoft.com/nav/business/source_form.html</A>
<LI><B>For Java 2</B> You will need to agree to and sign the &quot;Community Source License&quot; This is done at <A HREF="http://jsecom4.sun.com:80/servlet/EComActionServlet/ECom.WelcomePageInfo;$sessionid$">the Sun Download Center</A>
</UL>
<LI><B>Download the source code</B>
<UL>
<LI><B>For JDK 1.1.x</B> Instructions will be provided to you by Sun.
<LI><B>For Java 2</B> You may download the source code from <A HREF="http://www.sun.com/software/java2/download.html">http://www.sun.com/software/java2/download.html</A>
</UL>
<LI><B>Obtain source code &quot;diffs&quot;</B> Notify Nate Williams <A HREF="mailto:nate@mt.sri.com">nate@mt.sri.com</A> that you have the license and arrange to gain access to the CVS tree.
<H3>AND/OR</H3>
<LI><B>Begin hacking on the sources</B> Begin your porting. Jump right in and start digging.

<P><B><FONT COLOR="#660000">You want to help, but do not know C or FreeBSD <I>that</I> well?</FONT></B></P>
<P>The absolute best thing you can do is download the <A HREF="dists/">latest release</A>, install it, and try all your favorite Java applications. If they don't work, see below.
<A NAME="BUG"></A>
<P><B><FONT COLOR="#660000">I have a bug!</FONT></B></P>
<P>If you find an application that does not work, or crashes, here are the steps you should follow before reporting it:
<OL>
<LI>Try it again.
<LI>Check your settings for this application. Check to see if you made a mistake in starting it up.
<LI>Try it on a different platform. If you have access to a reference platform, try it there. (We need to determine if it is an application error, a Java bug, or a FreeBSD specific bug.)
<LI>Narrow down the problem. If it is your own code, narrow down the bug to the offending code. Otherwise, determine the steps required to reproduce the problem.
<LI>Notify the JDK porting team. Send email to <A HREF="mailto:freebsd-java@freebsd.org">freebsd-java@freebsd.org</A>. Be sure to include the steps you have followed.
<LI>Finally, and most importantly, be willing to work with the team to fix the problem.

<h1> <font color="#660000">Java API&acute;s</font></h1>
<h2> API - Extensions by Sun Microsystems </h2>
The following list contains an excerpt from the available
API definitions and implementations from SUN (for a start see
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products">Java Products</a> and go e.g. to Standard Extensions)
<ul>
<li><a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jfc">JFC (Java Foundation Classes)</a><br>
That is where Swing comes from. For more info see
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc">The Swing Connection</a>.
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/index.html">Java<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Media Framework</a><br>
The Java Media Framework (JMF) 1.0 API specifies a simple,
unified architecture, messaging protocol, and programming interface
for media playback. This API was developed by Sun Microsystems,
Inc., Silicon Graphics Inc., and Intel Corporation.
<BR>
The Java Media Framework (JMF) 2.0 API extends the 1.0 API by
providing capture functionality, pluggable codecs, file saving, RTP
broadcast and the ability to access and manipulate media data before it
is rendered. This API is available for public review, and was developed
by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and IBM.
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/index.html">Java<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Advanced Imaging</a><br>
The Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API is the extensible,
network-aware programming interface for creating advanced image processing
applications and applets in the Java programming language. The
Java Advanced Imaging API offers a rich set of image processing features
such as tiling, deferred execution and multiprocessor scalability.
Fully compatible with the Java 2D API, developers can easily extend the image
processing capabilities and performance of standard Java 2D applications
with the Java Advanced Imaging API.
<li> <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/">Java<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Serial Port (COMM)</A> <br>
The Java Serial Port can be used to write platform-independent communications
applications for technologies such as voice mail, fax, and smartcards.
Its current version supports RS232 serial ports and IEEE 1284 parallel ports.
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/index.html">Java 3D<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP></a><br>
The Java 3DTM 1.1 API is a set of classes for writing
three-dimensional graphics applications and 3D applets. It gives
developers high level constructs for creating and manipulating 3D
geometry and for constructing the structures used in rendering that
geometry. Application developers can describe very large virtual
worlds using these constructs, which provides Java 3D with enough
information to render these worlds efficiently.
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/index.html">JavaMail</a><br>
The JavaMail API provides a set of abstract classes that models a mail system.
The API is meant to provide a platform independent and protocol
independent framework to build Java-based mail and messaging applications.
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp/index.html">JavaHelp<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP></a><br>
JavaHelp is the Help system for the Java platform: it is a Java-based,
platform independent help system that enables Java developers to
incorporate online help for a variety of needs, including Java components,
applications (network and stand-alone), desktops, and HTML pages.
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/beans/glasgow/jaf.html">JavaBeans<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Activation Framework (JAF)</a><br>
With the JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) developers can take
advantage of standard services to determine the type of an arbitrary
piece of data, encapsulate access to it, discover the operations
available on it and to instantiate the appropriate JavaBeans
component to perform these operations.
<li> <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/index.html">Java<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Servlet</A><br>
Java Servlet provides a uniform, industry-supported
interface for extending a web server with cross-platform and
cross-server components written in the Java Programming Language.
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jce/index.html">Java<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Cryptography (JCE)</a><br>
The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) 1.2 provides a framework and
implementations for encryption, key generation and key agreement, and Message
Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms. Support for encryption includes
symmetric, asymmetric, block, and stream ciphers. The software also supports
secure streams and sealed objects.
<LI><a href="http://java.sun.com/products/beans/infobus/index.html">InfoBus</a><br>
InfoBus enables dynamic exchange of data between JavaBeans components by
defining a small number of interfaces between cooperating Beans and specifying
the protocol for use of those interfaces.<BR>
The protocols are based on a notion of an information bus. All components
which implement these interfaces can plug into the bus. As a member of the
bus any component can exchange data with any other component in structured
way, including arrays, tables, and database rowsets.

affected people using UDP sockets. If you tried to send a packet to the
broadcast address, the FreeBSD JDK refused with a permissions error.
This error was fixed, and rather than re-releasing the entire release a
small patchset was re-rolled for those folks who are experiencing this
problem. If you experience this problem, feel free to download the
gzipped tarfile and untar it wherever you installed the jdk. It will
install itself over top of the old version. If you aren't experiencing
the bug, there is no need to apply the patch, although it wouldn't hurt.

ELF JDK1.1.7 : An ELF build of JDK1.1.7 (for use on FreeBSD 3.x and later)
is currently entering it's initial internal testing phase. A beta
release should be availible in a few weeks.
<LI>
JDK2 (aka JDK1.2): Several individuals are working on porting JDK2 to
FreeBSD, but the work is progressing slowly. This is primarily due to a
lack of developer time to work on this project. (The release of
Blackdown's JDK2 port will assist our development when they release
their source diffs.)

couple annoying (and serious) bugs in the JDK, notably the modulo bug. This
release also has the 256 file-descriptor limit bumped up to 2048. The JRE

who did most of the work to make this release happen!
<LI>
More standard 'naming' for java.version and such.
<LI>
Fixes for UDP/Multicast sockets.
<LI>
The signal abort error may be fixed (knock on wood).
<LI>
Add support for the "KOI8-R" and "CP866" encodings.
<LI>
Timezone's now work correctly under FreeBSD (this required some native
code, but it is embedded in the JDK so shouldn't affect users. However,
FreeBSD has one of the few (only?) VM's that correctly support Timezones
now).
