<P>The JDK does not require any dependencies to install.  However, if you wish to run any graphics, you will need to have X installed and running.
20
<p>This is the effort of the Java 2 FreeBSD porting project. 
21
By the use of patchsets and the JDK source code released by sun, 
22
this port builds a native JDK for FreeBSD.</p>

<P>Many applications in Java need Java Foundation Classes (Swing) to run. JFC can be installed in: <CODE>/usr/ports/java/jfc</CODE>

<p><b>Note:</b>The JDK 1.4 patchset for BSD is currently considered of ALPHA quality. It should be considered a work in progress and use in a production environment is at your own risk.</p>
