Hi Cedric,

Well, it *is* possible to say that you want a specific JVM port, like 
java/jdk13 or java/jdk12 (both FreeBSD JVM's). It is *not* possible to 
specify that you want a FreeBSD 1.2+ JDK.

This functionality could be added though. Perhaps using a format like the 
following:

   USE_JAVA=   FreeBSD-1.2+

Or:

   USE_JAVA=   1.2+
   JAVA_OS=    FreeBSD

Already you get the Java OS of the JVM back in JAVA_OS, see the 'Writing' 
document (http://www.metaverse.nl/~ernst/writing.html).

Nope. Is this really necessary to add to bsd.java.mk ? And what if a single 
port offers both ?
