<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>
