 Yuri,
 
 
 I'm not sure I get your point here...

 Well actually I put it in bsd.java.mk. This statement is from the
 ChangeLog for bsd.java.mk

 When nothing is asked by the port, jikes is used if present. This may
 cause problems as jikes requires -bootclasspath to be set to the
 location of the standard Java API classes. Provided this is not needed
 when using the former javac command, and as porter won't know in advance
 if jikes will be used or not (unless the port explicitely requires or
 forbids its use by setting USE_JIKES), he won't be able to set
 -bootclasspath accordingly.
 
 That's why I had to add these arguments when "jikes is used
 [transparently] as a substitute for javac"...
 
 Is this what you were asking for or did I misunderstood you ?
