Linux JVMs Running Under BSD?

Mock asks: "I work for a web services company, and so part of our business process involves setting up web servers for our customers that include a JVM for running our software. Although I've found FreeBSD to be rock-solid for server applications and the quickest to fix security issues, the JVM support has been lagging behind other systems, for some time now. I would like to know if it is wise, or even possible, to run the Linux JVM under BSD? Are there other alternatives I'd be better off considering (besides using a different operating system)?"

    Ok, so first you recommend an open language and then you go mention something like Microsoft .NET

    I fail to see the difference between .NET and Java when it comes to Freedom BTW.
    Only that with Microsoft, I get the feeling this freedom will not be lasting too long.
