Installing the JDK without Xorg

[Pat Maddox]

Thanks for the help.  I got a suggestion on a forum to build it as a
package..."make MINIMAL=yes package"  I haven't created a package from
a port, so I'm not entirely sure what that'll do.  It installed Java
fine and left me with a bzip2 file.  Does this mean I can just copy
that file to any other machine I'm using and install Java as a
package, so I don't have to wait the long time for it to build?  Or
would it be better just to build it all on each machine anyway?
