Re: freebsd java

The OpenJDK project is now the project where all the *BSD and Linux  
activity is happening.  Recently (within the past 3 weeks), the *BSD  
port was approved as a project and the initial patches have been  
brought in.  There are no more licensing issues to resolve (that I  
know of).

You can read more about it here:  http://openjdk.java.net/projects/bsd-port/
