HowToInstallJava

Requirements

You should have read HowToPkgsrc, installed pkgsrc and know how to use it. Capable of being able to breathe would help, too.

lang/sun-jre14 and lang/sun-jdk14

IMHO are this the only binary Java ports you can get working. But as of 21.03.2007 you can not use 1_4_2_13 with DragonFly 1.9.0-PREVIEW. I got it working with 1_4_2_11, which you can get at ?archive. To get your pkgsrc lang/sun-jre14 and lang/sun-jdk14 back to 1_4_2_11 do:

# cd lang/sun-jre14

# cvs update -dPD 20060727

and

 . 

# cd lang/sun-jdk14

# cvs update -dPD 20060727

Now do an default install ritual.

FYI: You tagged pkgsrc lang/sun-jre14 and lang/sun-jdk14 and they will not be updated anymore until you use once:

. 

# cvs update -dPA

instead of your default:

. 

# cvs update -dP

wip/jdk14

Default prozedure should work, if your libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c is version 1.27 (as Release 1.8.1) and install a working lang/sun-jre14 and lang/sun-jdk14, as described above.
