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 ?
