Which one? Orion, Tomcat 3, Tomcat 4, JBoss 2 and JBoss 3 are already in the ports. I suggest you take the Orion port (www/orion) as a starting point and work from there. > I note some ports write to /var/log and others to > ${PREFIX}/portname/log. I have no definite answer. I just let my ports log to the port installation directory, like ${PREFIX}/orion1.5.4 for Orion. PS: Have you tried the java@FreeBSD.org mailing list?
