Recommended Java/Tomcat Installation

Now that FreeBSD 6.2 is out, can anyone recommend specific releases of JVM 
and Tomcat that deliver a really stable and fast (emphasizing stable) J2EE 
platform on 6.2?  In the absence of such, info about 6.1 would also be 
greatly appreciated.

I'm also curious about whether I need to consider installing Linux 
compatability so I can install a Linux-based JVM, vs. the native JVMs now 
available.  If the Linux compat layer is not needed to achieve a stable 
environment, that would be great.

I'm happy to RTFM on this, but I can't seem to find info about *version 
combinations on FreeBSD in specific*, and thus specific ports/packages that 
may be "production worthy".  If I were to go to the Tomcat website, read the 
info about the JVM version required for my favorite version of Tomcat and 
install them both, I might end up with an installation that demonstrates 
problems specific to the FreeBSD ports, so I want to be careful here.

If I've missed some obvious documentation, I apologize in advance.

Thank you.
