This means installing the sun jvm under Linux is a PIA. It's not intergrated with the package management, it's not automatically upgraded for me. Nor is it "integrated" with the OS. the number of hoops you have to jump through to get .class or .jar files to run the jvm when executed is astronomical.
You think that's bad, try installing it in freebsd..
What problems did you have? I'm running JDK1.4 on 4.7 through 4.10 and 5.2.1 and 5.2-CURRENT You follow the instructions, download 3 files and make install. It compiled cleanly and runs wonderfully. Make sure you've cvsuped to the latest ports tree and make clean'd before trying again. There was a bug a while ago with the build process that somehow appended a line of output from the compiler in the top of a source file, trivial to fix if you know where to look.
