 To install Java, you must compile it or install a prebuilt package. Currently there are no pre-built packages for the FreeBSD 5.x tree, although you can use the older Java 1.3.1 packages for FreeBSD 4.8 (and later,) tree. These are older packages (the latest Java is 1.4.2 (although 1.5 is just around the corner, widespread use of this recent release is not yet common).

 Note that you don't want to ''make install clean'' because if something fails at some point during the install, the ''clean'' will wipe out your work files. Just run ''make install'' and when it's done, clean up with a ''make clean && make distclean'' after it's installed.
