(I don't even have a local/libdata; it's not part of the ports make files mtree stuff, huh?) I personally vote against lib and libexec. Also, to clutter /usr/local with lot's of directories for every application is ugly, IMO. Also, shall there be [share|libdata]/appname dirs, or just a common [share|libdata]/classes or [share|libdata]/java? That might depend on whether the jar files are useful to more than this specific application. For example, where would a database engine jdbc jar-file go? I think it's good that we discuss this now, for at the moment there are hardly no ports of java stuff in the ports tree, and while ports of java stuff should really not be necessary (platform independence etc...), many java applications use Solaris (sometimes Linux) specific shell script wrappers that definitely need porting. I would love to see this happen in the ports tree. Also, it would be great to have a standard place to put all the stuff, even if not using a port. Now, this part belongs in freebsd-ports: just like there is USE_GMAKE, there should perhaps be a USE_JDK? :-) What's happening in JDK 1.2 regarding this topic, BTW? If there is a standard way to place jar files etc... with that version, is it something that can be used now? /Palle To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
