bsd.java.mk 2.0

Hi Joe,


Basically, what you just have to do (if you've got a system that is not
critical) is just replace /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.java.mk by the one I
provided and try installing/desinstalling/reinstalling some Java ports
(not JDK ones here) using either the standard way with make(1) or using
pkg tools such as portupgrade(1). Then tell us about the results.

You may test it by installing/desintalling JDK ports also and see if the
dependencies of the Java ports are set correctly. To check without
actually building a port, just use:

make run-depends-list
make build-depends-list

or even:

make all-depends-list

to check port dependencies recursively.

Whenever you feel the behaviour is weird, you may investigate by using:

make java-debug

to get values of some of the variables bsd.java.mk is using to select
the JDK port.
