They went in before we adopted that policy. IMO the java top level category is bogus and should just go away. One day Herve and I are just going to move everything except the JDKs out. Anyway, from the categorisation section of the Porter's Handbook: "The java category shall not be the only one for a port. Save for ports directly related to the Java language, porters are also encouraged not to use java as the main category of a port." So please don't make 'java' the main category. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
