Try to setup a package build cluster from scratch it won't work because of openjdk. This solution is the easiest way to get openjdk6 without too much pain for the user. he will just have to portmaster java/openjdk6 or the way they usually install ports on there systems without being forced to install prebuilt dependencies or install non free software. with the old way it would have been pkg_add -r openjdk6 && make && make deinstall reinstall. Sorry but I prefer a simple make install :) In my case I would love to see it in the ports. regards, Bapt
