Get Started - BSD

Download the setup file (obm-nix.tar.gz) above

Download J2SE Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.x or later

Depending on your platform and BSD release, download the corresponding JRE and dependant packages.For example, we are using FreeBSD 6.1 i386 for installation:

Download javavmwrapper-2.3.tbz and diablo-jre-freebsd5.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz in the following links.

http://www.freebsd-fr.org/ports/java.html#javavmwrapper-2.3

http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml

http://www.freebsd.org/ports/java.html#diablo-jre-1.5.0.07.01_3 (See package dependancy of your machine)

Install J2SE Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.x or later to /usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0

Use following command to install package

pkg_add javavmwrapper-2.3.tbz

pkg_add diablo-jre-freebsd5.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz

Create a symbolic link for JRE

ln -s /usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0 /usr/java

If you are using csh as your shell, you need to type "rehash" and hit enter to make the symbolic link take effect. For other shell types it should work.

setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/java

Verify the installed JRE

JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version

See if the output does not contain warning

With warning
