new port, axis2

[Jason Helfman]

Hi,

There have been several issues raised regarding a new port I had submitted
for consideration into the FreeBSD portstree, and I was hoping to have some
feedback so I may proceed with a good direction in updating the port.

This port is largely based off of www/axis.

I submitting the following pr:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/159269

The issues raised with it are that I have only a "war" file in the plist. I
have a number of ports now, and thought this may be the way to handle a war
file, however bapt@ would like for all of the files to be listed. I know
that the application server will extract these files, so doing so it not a
problem, and I can definitely understand why this should be done.

Beyond this, though, it is being suggested that the scope of the port be
opened to more than just the apache tomcat application server. I was
wondering what your thoughts on this may be.

I was also curious that if everything was actually installed to
${JAVAJARDIR}, and a class path was added for the application server, with no
dependency on any application server to be set considering the number of
possibilities, if the application server would properly resolve everything.

Please cc me on replies, as I am not on freebsd-java, or java mailing lists.
Using a war is new for me, as my only other java-based port I maintain is
databases/jasperserver, although this is built from source.

Thanks so much,
Jason
