<h2>Getting Java</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are two choices of Java Development Kits on FreeBSD:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<h3>OpenJDK</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The &openjdk; project provides a native open-source
|
|
implementation of the &java; SE Platform. It is available for all
|
|
currently supported FreeBSD releases in the following combinations
|
|
of versions (by architecture):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><b>aarch64</b>: <code>openjdk8</code>, <code>openjdk11</code>, <code>openjdk12</code>, <code>openjdk13</code></p>
|
|
<p><b>amd64</b>: <code>openjdk7</code>, <code>openjdk8</code>, <code>openjdk11</code>, <code>openjdk12</code>, <code>openjdk13</code></p>
|
|
<p><b>arm6</b>: <code>openjdk8</code></p>
|
|
<p><b>arm7</b>: <code>openjdk8</code></p>
|
|
<p><b>i386</b>: <code>openjdk7</code>, <code>openjdk8</code>, <code>openjdk11</code>, <code>openjdk12</code>, <code>openjdk13</code></p>
|
|
<p><b>powerpc</b>: <code>openjdk8</code></p>
|
|
<p><b>powerpc64</b>: <code>openjdk8</code>, <code>openjdk11</code>, <code>openjdk12</code>, <code>openjdk13</code></p>
|
|
<p>&openjdk; is frequently updated, and it is suggested to refer to
|
|
<a href="https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/java/">revision logs</a> for
|
|
detailed release history. Additionally, one may choose to review more information at
|
|
<a href="https://www.freshports.org/search.php?query=openjdk&search=go&num=10&stype=name&method=match&deleted=excludedeleted&start=1&casesensitivity=caseinsensitive">FreshPorts</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To install &openjdk; package use the <a href="&base;/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg"><tt>pkg</tt></a> utility or the ports system:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>pkg install openjdk[version]</code></p>
|
|
<p>or</p>
|
|
<p><code>cd /usr/ports/java/openjdk[version]
|
|
<br/>make install clean
|
|
</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>where [version] is one of 7, 8, 11, 12, or 13. An example (<code>openjdk11</code>):</p>
|
|
<p><code>pkg install openjdk11</code></p>
|
|
<p>or</p>
|
|
<p><code>cd /usr/ports/java/openjdk11
|
|
<br/>make install clean
|
|
</code></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<h3>Oracle JDK for Linux</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This port installs the Java Development Kit from Oracle which was built for Linux. It will run under FreeBSD using the Linux compatibility.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>pkg install linux-oracle-jdk18</code></p>
|
|
<p>or</p>
|
|
<p><code>cd /usr/ports/java/linux-oracle-jdk18
|
|
<br/>make install clean
|
|
</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Note:</b> Please note that due to the current licensing policy the
|
|
Oracle JDK on FreeBSD binaries can not be distributed and you are only
|
|
permitted to use them personally. For the same reason, the sources
|
|
must be fetched manually.</p>

|
|
|
<h3>... fixing bugs or adding new features</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The main repositories for the BSD port of OpenJDK are publically available on Github. Pull requests are welcome. You can find more information on this <a href="https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/openjdk_11">Wiki</a></p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>... testing</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The best thing you can do is download the latest release, install it, and try all your favorite Java applications. If they don't work, see below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>... reporting a bug</h3>
|
|
<p>If you find an application that does not work, or crashes, here are the steps you should follow before reporting it:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Try it again.</li>
|
|
<li>Check your settings for this application. Check to see if you made a mistake in starting it up.</li>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<li>Finally, and most importantly, be willing to work with the team to fix the problem.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h3>...writing documentation</h3>
|
|
<p>Everyone can help here. If you have a suggestion to add to the documentation, write it up and send it to <a href="mailto:freebsd-java@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-java@FreeBSD.org</a></p>
