I was corrected by Herve on this question, the only thing that needs to be stated more clearly I think is that the PR submittal process should file to the primary listing and not to the java PR category. The java PR category should be used for ports that have the java category as their main listing. What do you think about that? So my effort will now be geared towards going through the list of ports in the java category and see if they should have their main listing in the java category or that they should be listed in another category (which would result in moving them).
