Synopsis: trang depends on the non-free JDK, it should depend on the free gcj

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: hq
State-Changed-When: Tue Jul 5 19:15:58 GMT 2005
State-Changed-Why: 

The whole ports system uses logic from bsd.java.mk to pick a suitable JDK for
each port. GCJ is not currently supported by bsd.java.mk and there are
currently no plans to support GCJ at a port-level. On the other hand, some work
is in progress to have Kaffe (a free JVM implementation) supported in
bsd.java.mk. Until then, please use a "non-free" JDK to install trang. You may
also contribute by sending a patch to bsd.java.mk for it to support GCJ. In
such case, this mater should be discussed on freebsd-java@FreeBSD.org

As for Debian, I think they are not allowed to distribute Sun's JDK anyway,
that's why they have to make packages work with GCJ (I coudl be mistaken here,
as I don't know much about Java@Debian). FreeBSD ports system contains 14
different working JDKs, all supported by bsd.java.mk...

For further information regarding the JDK choice logic from bsd.java.mk, please
refer to the Porter's Handbook, Java section:
