From what I have heard, it is a pain. Because freebsd isn't one of the "download and go" platforms for java, and there are some issues with recompiling the source on freebsd, *I think*. Not positive though, but I remember reading something about silliness of java on freebsd. Good luck. ps. Java is slow and ugly. :P Martin Lefebvre wrote:

constant APIC errors in syslog, and random freezes... hated it... freebsd seemed like my only option at that point... and runs fine... I'll figure out the BSD java stuff, was just hoping maybe someone had java/freebsd experience :/

I'm trying to learn java... but the install on freebsd is kinda tedious for a lazy person like me :/
Means you're using the wrong os.... 'pacman -Sy j2re'
If you're a lazy person, Arch is the distro for you...
