Java 1.5 JDK and JRE binaries for FreeBSD 5.4/i386 and 6.0/i386 are now available!The FreeBSD Foundation has a license with Sun Microsystems to distribute FreeBSD binaries for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Java Development Kit (JDK). These implementations have been made possible through the hard work of the FreeBSD Java team as well as through donations to the FreeBSD Foundation that supported hardware, developer costs, and legal fees. The official JRE and JDK binaries based on Sun's latest partner sources provide end-users and developers alike with confidence that they can use and create Java applications on FreeBSD with the same degree of portability, robustness and stability that they have come to expect from other supported operating systems. These binaries have been fully tested under Sun's compatibility test suite.
Please consider a donation to the FreeBSD Foundation in order to support continuing Java development. Your donations will help fund more Java projects like providing binaries for FreeBSD 5.5, FreeBSD 6.1, and the amd64 platform End-User DownloadsThese downloads are available for use in general purpose servers and general purpose desktop and laptop personal computers. If you are an OEM or plan to redistribute the binaries, please refer to the OEM section below. If you require the binaries for any other use, you must contact Sun for a commercial use license.
