Manfred,
I don't know if the INSTALLDIR/doc is mandatory, but I'll assume it's
not. Hence, I would do the following:
- install 'INSTALL-DIR/bin/*' in ${JAVASHAREDIR}/${PORTNAME}/bin/
- install 'INSTALL-DIR/lib/*' in ${JAVASHAREDIR}/${PORTNAME}/lib/
- install 'INSTALL-DIR/*' in ${JAVASHAREDIR}/${PORTNAME}/
- install 'INSTALL-DIR/doc/*' in ${DOCSDIR}/
- symlink ${JAVASHAREDIR}/${PORTNAME}/bin/<executable_script> in
${PREFIX}/bin.
I'm not sure about the last point though. Maybe it's even more simple to
install directly in ${PREFIX}/bin if the application allows it.
Herve
