installation on FreeBSD

I need some help in getting ApacheDS installed on my FreeBSD-8.0 (current) box.
 I'm running a natively-compiled jdk1.6.0 (Sun sources), it's just as stable as
a rock, and I am also running eclipse-3.4.1, and it's equally stable.  Since the
Studio install works through eclipse, I already have that installed (my eclipse
is very, very solidly working, I've done a fair sized project already, and I
love eclipse).  My problem is in getting ApacheDS working.  The tarballs I've
found on the site either need Linux, MacOS, or Windows ... with one exception.
That tarball, named apacheds-1.5.4.tar.gz, hasn't got any of the etc/rc.d files
(stuff that in Linux might be installed in init.d).

I haven't got any test ldap to browse, for checking my Studio install.  I was
hoping to get the apacheds working, and use that output for testing the Studio.

I saw on the web that it (the FreeBSD-apacheds install)  might need a binary
named jsvc.  I saw that my FreeBSD port of Tomcat6 has the tarball for jsvc
embedded (unbuilt) inside it, so I made the fairly  minor modifications to the
configure script inside it, and came up with a jsvc, which I installed into my
/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/bin (softlinked into /usr/local/bin also).  If your prject
offers me two files, I could get going:

(1) the script to start my daemon (needs a "start" parameter, as any rc.d script
would get, all taken care of my the rc files), and
(2) a binary wrapper, for a 32 bit system (i386).

I want to run apacheds very much, but in doing all my web-research, I can't see
where anything's been done in that direction.  I'd sure appreciate any  help you
could offer, and I'd offer my system as a test platform to vetting a version of
ApacheDS.  So, maybe, I could offer something back to you, for your own help.

If you are using Studio 1.3, you have an embedded ADS server. You just 
have to configure it, launch it, and create a connection on it. A 2 
minutes no-brainer solution :)

Hi Chuck,

Simply run the shell script to start the server.
    $sh apacheds.sh

Or use the embedded Apache DS inside Apache Directory Studio (in the
'servers' view) as Emmanuel suggests.

Hope this helps,
