bsd.java.mk 2.0 has been updated!

More details at:

http://www.esil.univ-mrs.fr/~hquiroz/freebsd/bsd.java.mk-2.0.html

CHANGES:
2003-10-05:
  - changed JAVA_VENDOR keywords: 'freebsd' -> 'bsdjava', 'freebsd foundation' -> 'freebsd'
  - JAVA_PORT_VENDOR is now set to the vendor keyword (use _JAVA_VENDOR_keyword for complete vendor name)

TODO:
 - Implement a sorting mechanism for JDK port selection
 - Handle JDK/JRE
 - Decide definitively the name/keyword for JDK vendors (and then rename JDK ports in bsd.java.mk)
 - Handle installed JDK ports using metainformation available
 - Decide if we get rid of the JAVA_HOME overide stuff (Herve: I'm for removing it as it's not safe IMHO)

The 4th item (in the TODO list) is quite important to me right now
(maintenance issues and flexibility) so I think I'll work on that during
the next nights... so I can implement the JDK/JRE handling part.

Can we decide something about the 5th item ? In the original proposal
for bsd.java.mk 1.0, the user had the ability to enforce a given JDK
port dependency. IMHO it's not so important now (and could possibly lead
to some trouble). However I would like to hear from people that have
actually used this feature... or anybody else BTW. Maybe I'm missing
some point here so please tell me what you think of it (especially you
Ernst).
