Java Package for FreeBSD

Installing Java on FreeBSD (my favourite operating system) wasn’t an easy task, you have to download Java files from Sun web site put them in a special directory then start a lengthy build process that never successed.

Fortunately FreeBSD Foundation has binary package for Java, all you need is to Download and install using:

# pkg_add diablo-jdk-freebsd5.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz

and you are done.

With Java on FreeBSD may be I will start playing with Lucene instead of Swish-e as Alriyadh search engine.
