More precisely: lang/kawa net/javadc net/jift net/spread Is it okay if I make a small change to the Makefile of these ports? I would like to add NEED_JAVAC=YES below the USE_JAVA=YES line. This should not affect the working of the port. The source of the problem is that currently Jikes is registered as a dependency of ports that don't even need a Java compiler. The bsd.java.mk file will be changed so that you need to set NEED_JAVAC to YES if you need ${JAVAC} to be set. This change has already made its way into the documentation for bsd.java.mk.
