<h2>Getting Java</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are two choices of Java Development Kits on FreeBSD:</p>
|
|
|

<ul>

|
<h3>OpenJDK</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The &openjdk; project provides a native open-source
|
|
implementation of the &java; SE Platform and is available in
|
|
versions 6, 7 and 8 for all supported FreeBSD releases on the i386
|
|
and amd64 platforms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>&openjdk; 7 is frequently updated, and it is suggested to refer to a
|
|
<a href="http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/java/openjdk7/Makefile?view=log">revision log</a> for
|
|
detailed release history. Additionally, one may choose to review more information at
|
|
<a href="http://www.freshports.org/java/openjdk7">FreshPorts</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To install &openjdk; 7 package use the pkg(8) utility:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code>pkg install openjdk</code>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
or

<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>cd /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk17
|
|
<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>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<h3>Legacy Native JDK</h3>
|
|
<p>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 no longer available.</p>

<h2>I want to help by...</h2>
|
|
|
|
<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>
