Sun's JDK has not been ported to FreeBSD. Get kaffe; here is how
KAFFE v0.5p4 - A JIT and interpreting virtual machine to run Java(tm)* code
===========================================================================
This is Kaffe, a virtual machine design to execute Java bytecode.
This machine can be configured in two modes. In one mode it operates as
a pure bytecode interpreter (not unlike Javasoft's machine); in the second
mode if performs "just-in-time" code conversion from the abstract code to
the host machine's native code. This will ultimately allow execution of
Java code at the same speed as standard compiled code but while maintaining
the advantages and flexibility of code independence.
Kaffe is available from various sites. The primary site is:
ftp://ftp.sarc.city.ac.uk/pub/kaffe/kaffe-0.5p4.tgz
