| Yes.  Before you can compile and install jdk13 you need to have
| installed jdk13.  Start by installing the Diablo JDK port -- which is
| a pre-compiled JDK.  In fact, if the Diablo JDK fulfils your needs,
| that's all you need to do.

I am compiling /usr/ports/java/jdk13 because I wanted to enable my
Mozilla Browser's plugin for Java and Shockwave Flash.  I only followed
what was written in the Handbook.

| In any case, the Diablo JDK should be sufficient to compile jdk13.

I was successful in compiling /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk13 but when I
went to /usr/ports/java/jdk13 to compile the same error came out again.
~ I am afraid that I could not understand:
| Make sure you unset 'JAVA_HOME' before you start the compile.

What I did was '#unset JAVA_HOME' and then I tried to compile but was
not lucky...Do I have to do anything else to make my Box compile jdk13?
Thank you very for the response...
