That is not true. We have had the native JDK 1.2 port and after that the JDK 
1.3 port. And a lot of Linux JDK ports. And we've had

since ages, too.

What exactly do you consider the hardest part to set up? Both JDKs and Tomcat 
are available as ports. I do appreciate the fact that you've written the

configuration and maintenance.
