I think the best situation is to abstract it all by adding something
along the lines of
USE_JAVA=
yes
which would add a dependency on the vmwrapper and _any_ acceptable
JRE/JDK (perhaps with a make.conf default or some such).
I would appreciate the disk space savings from being able to run
Konqueror and browser plugins and JAR files with a JRE only, since I
don't actually do any java development myself.
As for the where-to-place-JAR-files-and-jar-running-scripts issue,
remember that at least one port (net/airport) installs multiple JAR
files, so a shell script binding of $PREFIX/bin/$PORTNAME ->
$PREFIX/share/$PORTNAME/${PORTNAME}.jar won't do.
