Perhaps they should all receive options for extracting src.jar/.zip or not? And an option for installing the JDK API documentation or not? 3) Make sure all JDK ports are named consistently. We currently have: * java/jdk: JDK 1.1 for FreeBSD * java/jdk12-beta: JDK 1.2 for FreeBSD * java/jdk13: JDK 1.3 for FreeBSD * java/linux-jdk: Blackdown JDK 1.2 for Linux * java/linux-jdk13: Sun JDK 1.3 for Linux * java/linux-ibm-jdk13: IBM JDK 1.3 for Linux * java/linux-jdk14: Sun JDK 1.4 for Linux 4) Perhaps assign one port maintainer for all JDK ports? This may however not be a good idea at all, I dunno :) Ernst -- Ernst de Haan EuroNet Internet B.V.
