Hi,


I was wondering what was the policy regarding the choice of the category
of a port.

Some libraries are in java (like the jakarta ones), some others are in
textproc (like the XML related ones).

The same goes for the java tools: some are in java (the JDKs, mmake, the
JITs) and some others are in devel (apache-ant)...

Ernst has already produced a good effort to unify the names of the various
JDK ports. Now, how about discussing and choosing a policy regarding java
ports and their category ?

Regards,


Herve
