This is where javavmwrapper comes in. Any Java port that needs a Java VM
version 1.1 or higher should depend on javavmwrapper, instead of on java/jdk
or so. If you give me a (partial) list of the ports that expose the problem
you mention, then I'll see what I can do. I can probably fix them within a few
days.
Kind regards.
Ernst
