Rhys,
I have been using the native FreeBSD jdk1.4.2-p7 port for a while now
and I have not had any problems with it at all. I am also currently
developing a Java3D based tool and it also runs very nicely on FreeBSD.
If you want an ide, eclipse is in ports and it rocks.
Jdk1.5 is still in alpha testing I believe although it seems to work ok
but I wouldn't rely on it for anything important just yet.
HTH
