For general information on Java, go to http://java.sun.com
They (Sun) currently have JDKs (Java Development Kits) for
Windows NT/95 (Intel x86) and SPARC Solaris (2.3 or higher).
For other ports - like FreeBSD!! - they specifically say:
<< from: http://java.sun.com/faq2.html#A2 >>

A4. What about a version for my favorite platform XYZ? When can I get it?
These are extremely popular questions, and important ones. What we can
currently say is:
Macintosh (MacOS 7.5): 1.0 FCS targeted for early 96
Amiga, Linux, NeXT, OS/2, Windows 3.1, Windows 32s, ...:
We've provided our Solaris source code to make third-party
ports like these possible, but we are not officially
overseeing or tracking them. For more information, you can
check out platform-specific mailing lists:
