====================================================================== Warning: This JRE may be unstable. You are advised to use the native FreeBSD JDK 8, in ports/java/openjdk8. This Java VM will attempt to obtain some system information by accessing files in linux's procfs. You must install the Linux emulation procfs filesystem for this to work correctly. The JVM will exhibit various problems otherwise. This can be accomplished by adding the following line to your /etc/fstab file: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 and then, as root, executing the commands: kldload linprocfs mount /compat/linux/proc ======================================================================
