Ah! I was just trying to get mine working to send-pr in the evening...
Good you made it.

BTW, I "sent-pr" the Trove4j (http://trove4j.sourceforge.net) port this
morning (a very fast collection library, compatible with the Collection
API and that supports primitives as keys and values as well).

I noticed almost every java lib port Makefile contains statements about
builded JAR file location, builded [api]docs directory, target dir for
installation of all of those etc. And sometimes it sets the PLIST_SUB to
reduce the overall size of the ports tree (reducing pkg-plist size).

So why not having those variables set in bsd.java.mk ? I know this has
been discussed before but it seems we can't agree about where to put this
and that... IMHO having just a few hardcoded variables used by every port
would make life easier if we want to change the global organization "a
posteriori".

Also, for the use of ant, maybe we could just have a rather simple ant
support to start (specifying ant targets in the makefile and USE_ANT or
something) and then improve it.

Just my two eurocents...

BTW, I noticed that in the port jakarta-log4j port, which is not builded
but instead installed "as-is", the following line is present :

NO_BUILD=yes

But on the other hand, jikes still seems to be part of the dependencies.
Is there a particular reason I am not aware of ?

Anyway, thanks to all of you, FreeBSD is becoming more developper-friendly
day after day. Keep on the good work.
