+
+ The default version of OpenJDK has been updated from 1.6 to 1.7. To update,
+ users of Java will need to rebuild all ports that depend on Java:
+
+ If you use pkg (regardless of if you build ports from source or install
+ binary packages):
+ # pkg set -o java/openjdk6:java/openjdk7
+
+ If you use portmaster to build ports from source:
+
+ # portmaster -o java/openjdk7 openjdk6
+ # portmaster -R -r openjdk
+
+ If you use portupgrade to build ports from source:
+
+ # portupgrade -fo java/openjdk7 java/openjdk6
+
+ If you use pkg to install prebuilt binary packages:
+
+ # pkg install -fR java/openjdk7
+
+ If you wish to keep the 1.6 version as default, add the following lines to
+ your /etc/make.conf file:
+
+ #
+ # Keep OpenJDK 1.6 as default version.
+ #
+ JAVA_PREFERRED_PORTS=JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_OPENJDK_JDK_1_6
