I will go forward with deprecating our port. If somebody complains the next few months I'm available to undeprecate it again. :-)

Onderwerp: what about java/jta?

Hi,

What about https://www.freshports.org/java/jta "Java Transaction API"?

It is from around the year 2000.
It needs a manual download, so no package is provided.
Nothing in the ports tree depends on it.

The only thing the port does is put the jar file in some location of the filesystem. It does not modify anything to the jar for FreeBSD specific support.

NB: If I develop a Java application there are much better supported ways to use such a jar in my project than the ports tree.

Any objections if I deprecate this port for removal in about 3 months?

NB2: there are more of such ports of java libraries which don't really make sense to me to have in the ports tree as long as no other port uses it. What are the thoughts about that?

Regards,
Ronald.
