Yes, that's right. It's a usability thing. It's kind of nice to have start/stop scripts placed in the right places, use an already installed tomcat instead of installing a second one, etc. > Besides, a "port" means something that is "ported" to > FreeBSD. > I dont think JBOSS needs any "porting". So we can abandon most of the /usr/ports/java stuff (except the jdks and some other) ;-) Ok, but I think you are right: It's not the really worth the time maintaining a port, that only downloads and extracts the stuff.
