which java?

[Anonymous]

Which Java do you prefer to install: openjava, diablo or Sun Java.
As usual I will install OpenOffice from ports.

Thanks.

I will now use openjdk as long as i can....
One thing, to make jdk, you need jdk to bootstrap it....
you can download pkg-add it, and reinstall from ports( if you like)

otherwise you will have to download files from freebsdfoundation

If I decided for openjdk than I need first to install diablojdk? Same as for SunJava...
I don't like this...but...

Thank you.

pkg_add -r openjdk6
then if you absolutlely dislike packages, you can:

# cd /usr/ports/java/openjdk6
# make
# make deinstall reinstall clean

I'd go with diablo. It's the Sun licensed java on Freebsd.

I've been using Diablo for awhile and asked the Netbeans folks if they have any plans to include a port of the profiler(http://forums.netbeans.org/topic7867.html). They mentioned Diablo's partial implementation of JVMTI as being the show stopper.

Can I assume that this problem has been resolved in OpenJDK6 so I can let the NB folks know? Also, when I installed OpenJDK6 from ports, java awt/swing apps (Netbeans...) is appear garbled. Anybody having the same problem? For now I've switched back to Diablo.
