    Provided you will only do that
    make; make installl
    once in a year or so, i dont think there is much
    of a problem not having a "real" binary jdk.

    N*M, where N is the number of machines I have, and M is the number of FreeBSD + Java updates in a year. That is not acceptible.

    In the meantime dont get used to be afraid
    of compilations, since
    - you might forget how to recompile your lovely linux kernel

    I get no joy from building kernels, and FreeBSD wants me to do this too often already.

    - even worse you might start considering MSoft.

    Actually, I'm migrating toward OSX...
