status of various JDK/SDK ports?

[Ion-Mihai Tetcu]

Hi,


While building java/ on QAT, I see a lot of ports failing to fetch or
requiring manual fetch (sigh). I also see a lot of versions for the
same thing, some of them very old.

I'm on a killing spree WRT these ports, most notably
java/linux-sun-?dk??

If you care about them, please update them to the latest release or at
least point the users to a download URL that doesn't require 30 minutes
of digging on that site.

Also, enter the names of the java@ members at
http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsTeams (please look at the other teams
entries for what should be there; if you already have a wiki page or
some other resource you can link it, but at minimum it should contain
the list of people behind java@).

For your reference, portmgr@ asked this almost a year ago, an I'm about
to wave the cattle prod about his.
