Herve,

Yup. Have been working on it, although not too much. I've created a sample
bsd.java.mk file, but it doesn't really do anything yet.

Could you provide us with a link?

Well, perhaps we could modify javavmwrapper so that it installs a script in
${PREFIX}/bin/java that will (1) choose the right java executable and (2) set
the classpath to include all .jar files below ${PREFIX}/share/java/classes or
so...

Nah, we should not make that distinction between Java programs and other
programs. There is no /usr/local/ruby directory either.

Good point. I'm more and more in favor of putting things in devel, www and
textproc instead of java...
