Thanks for the input. With extended support for OpenJDK 6 having ended last December, I'd recommend having a discussion about updating the system with the interested stakeholders. I've just marked openjdk6 for expiration one month from now. If you need to, I'd suggest building a package for whichever FreeBSD version is relevant to you and backing that up somewhere. That will likely allow you to continue to use it if you need once the port is gone. -- Greg
