I really would prefer not to reenable the (relatively weak) Java
frontend in the lang/gcc34 port for the sake of a single port.
pdftk depending on the version of Java supported by lang/gcc34
and fails to work with the lang/gcc41 Java frontend (which I'll
reenable tomorrow morning) doesn't sound very comforting, and
more indicative of a genuine problem with that software.
And Java is sufficiently huge a frontend, with the library, that
I'd prefer not to burden FreeBSD 4.x users who just need to use
lang/gcc34 to build other ports with it.
What do others think? (One way to address this would be for me
to relinguish the lang/gcc34 port as maintainer so that someone
else can then make this change.)
