Java on FreeBSD

Hello,

We want to install Java on FreeBSD 5.3.  We want either the 
linux-blackdown-jdk14, linux-sun-jdk14 or linux-ibm-jdk14 package OR 
port.  Neither is available.  We do NOT want to build Java natively on 
FreeBSD.

Your website indicates that all of these ports should be available 
under the "Java" directory.  However, they do not exist when we FTP in. 
  This has proved most frustrating.

Additionally, when we try to install only the Java ports directory from 
sysinstall, none of these ports appears under the Java branch of the 
tree.

How can we get one of these 3 packages or ports from ftp.FreeBSD?

thanks,

babaloo
