Hi Dylan,

Will do... (don't have time right now) The javadocs should indeed go below
${PREFIX}/share/doc, that's for sure. The symlink should then be the
otherway around.

$ cat ~/freebsd/ports/java/jdk11/pkg-comment
Java Development Kit 1.1
These JDK names were unified recently, see:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/java/jdk11/pkg-comment.diff?r1=1.2&r2=1.3
Ofcourse it's based on the Sun source code, but the patches were done by
Nate et al.

Only issue that remains then is that we have a conflict between the port
names and the names mentioned in this document... I will give this some
more thought. Perhaps I should just sweep through the pkg-comment files
again. :-\
Your work is very much appreciated and I must say that I *really* like your
approach. The documentation seems quite complete and useful already!!!!
Kind regards,
Ernst
