The preferred location seems to be ${PREFIX}/share/java/classes. That's what I'd seen in other ports and what I copied for databases/mysql-jdbc-mm I think that's still appropriate, since the JVM finds out about it via your CLASSPATH variable. > - Ports should install man pages as well I assume this was "ports of Java applications". I think the standard for Java class documentation (as opposed to Java application documentation) is HTML generated by javadoc, which IMHO beats the pants off man pages. I suppose it'd be possible to generate manpages via the latest javadoc, or via one of the free javadoc reimplementations.
