Nope, she's all yours to conquer! :) Some hints with the porting: * First try to build and install the library/application by hand * Take a look at a port for a small library or application you are familiar with, copy the directory with the Makefile, the pkg-* files and the distinfo file to a new directory and start changing things in the Makefile. Run 'make makesum' if your Makefile knows where to get the distfile. * Ask on freebsd-java if you run into trouble * Start small and start simple and make small changes, and keep testing Good luck!
