...unless the CLASSPATH is not yet defined, in which case it could
possibly cause some trouble...

  CLASSPATH=":additionalLib.jar"

But after a quick test it seems to work regardless:

  java -cp ":." HelloWorld

It runs fine... so no need for '--add' option.

java/javavmwrapper has no tarballs...

IMHO classpath-config and javavmwrapper have different scopes. So
including class-config in javavmwrapper would not fit well. But I think
you're right: there should probably be a single port for all
FreeBSD/Java specific tools.
