For example, I find it ridiculous > that the phpeclipse port is in the Java category. Speaking as both a portmgr and a bugmeister, I think the java category has been a failure. What happens is that people see a 'java' ports category and then assume that reports about bugs in any Java port should go to the Java GNATS category (rather than 'ports'). In particular, these PRs then get missed by portsmon. As well, as you mention, the java category departs from the existing usage in 'devel' and other places. I think TRT is to move everything out of Java that's not actually a JDK or JRE. And maybe even the things that are :-) What do other people think? mcl
