My apologies if my reaction was rude. I appreciate your help and I'm definitely committed to promoting FreeBSD, just like you. Tutorials (like your article) and the work of the port maintainers (like me) are really two sides of the same coin. If the port maintainers make something easier, like the installation of certain applications, then the article can be made slimmer too. And that's all in favour of the people we're doing this for: the users. My point was and is, that the article is appreciated. That's one. Now secondly, in the current situation some things in the article can be simplified, because they've advanced. This means that the article can focus on more interesting things, things that are more situation-specific. And that's not the installing of the JDK or Tomcat. It's configuration and maintenance. And I was hoping that that hole -because it is currently an information gap- would be filled by your article... I hope this makes clear that I do appreciate your effort and that I am committed to improving and promoting FreeBSD. Again, my apologies.
