 Joshua,
 
 
 You may use ${JAVAJARDIR} rather than defining your own variable for
 such a purpose. BTW, Greg Lewis recently added support for it in
 PLIST_SUB [1] so this could even reduce the size of the Makefile.
 
 Also, USE_JAVA=1.2+ is a deprecated practice. With bsd.java.mk 2.0, the
 correct syntax is:
 
 USE_JAVA=		yes
 JAVA_VERSION=	1.2+
 
 Altough backward compatibility is provided ATM, I would suggest that you
 take advantage of this PR to update your port to bsd.java.mk 2.0 as we
 plan to remove 1.0 support in the near future.
 
 The new features of bsd.java.mk 2.0 are quite documented in [2] (this is
 quite a recent addition) but in case you have any further questions,
 feel free to email me. I will be pleased to help you as I am trying to
 get more maintainers switch to bsd.java.mk 2.0...
 
 Herve
