If java core dumps on you, I'd stop right there trying to get OO to 
compile/work. There are many weird things that will happen (from experience) 
if you don't have a working JRE.

So I suggest you take a step back and look at what is causing diablo-jdk to 
fail. Perhaps you can post more information ( in the appropriate list ). I 
seem to recall that there are issues with diablo-jdk15 in -CURRENT right now 
and Greg Lewis is currently working on the issue. On my -CURRENT system it is 
working, but I had to hack libmap.conf.

Anyhow, I suggest you look at the freebsd-java list.

Nicolas.
