Speaking of that, maybe this would be a good time to review the ports
tree to detect Java ports that do not comply with this common scheme. I
have started to submit PRs for ports that do not use the JAVAJARDIR
macro directly but maybe it would be nice if we had a central point
where a common TODO list could be implemented...
I was also thinking of some INSTALL_JAR macro in bsd.java.mk to
automatically install JARs in the right place (and perform necessary
tasks, of which I can't of yet) and display information on how to
include the JAR in your classpath. Actually, something that would
address the issues in: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=56928
Another (weird) idea: would it be possible for portlint to produce
warnings when a .jar file is in the pkg-plist but not located in
JAVAJARDIR ?
In the same time, a statement in the porter's handbook regarding all of
that would be a good idea. AFAIK the handbook is written in DocBook, so
I may have a try at this one in the near future. English is not my main
language though... and the SGML flavor of DocBook is not my prefered one
(compared to XML). I will wait for the commit of bsd.java.mk 2.0 and
produce the Java section of the porter's handbook if I've got spare time
by this time.
