using java from freebsd

Question

I installed the openjdk on freebsd 9.0 RC2 as advised here. It was a bit slow, but it seemed to complete successfully. Now when I type:

mammalucco# java myjar.jar nogui
java: command not found

what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Did you verify that the port installed correctly? Did you do locate java?

If locate does not find it, it's probably not built or installed correctly. If locate comes back with something, make sure that the directory containing java is in your PATH.
