Hi all, Now that we have a bsd.java.mk, we should first get the current ports to use USE_JAVA. Then at the same time we can define the destination directories for the shared libraries (JARs), for the JavaDoc files, etc. What is also one of my goals is building all Java ports from source. Currently ports like www/jakarta-tomcat download pre-built JARs. IMHO it would be an improvement if all dependency libraries for this JAR would be downloaded and installed separately, so everything can be installed from source. An extra advantage is, that you can then upgrade a library like xerces and have all libraries that use xerces use the upgraded version of xerces. I know that this may be a disadvantage in some cases too :) Any thoughts on the subject ?
