This is the area where I'd like to see some improvements - assuming of
course I haven't missed something during my experimentation. Essentially, it
appears that many of the Java ports (for example, Tomcat) have dependencies
on the native jdk1.1.8 port in their Makefile although these ports work fine
on the other JDK versions. I prefer to use the Linux JDK 1.3 port for the
moment and find myself having to doctor these Makefiles in order get things
to install.

Is there a way this can be solved with a more generic dependency or did I
just miss something obvious ?
