1. Remove bundled jvm

rm -rf /usr/local/obm/jvm

1. 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)

1. 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

1. Create a symbolic link for JRE

ln -s /usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0 /usr/local/obm/jvm

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/local/obm/jvm

1. Verify the installed JRE

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version

See if the output does not contain warning
