Hi,

The unmaintained port math/scilab-toolbox-swt is failing to build.

Ports fallout:
https://portsfallout.com/fallout?port=math%2Fscilab-toolbox-swt%24

Build log:
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy23/data/150amd64-default/14bd0e320b77/logs/scilab-toolbox-swt-0.3.1_2.log

The error I found in the logs:
[150amd64-default-job-19] `-- Extracting xml-commons-1.4.01_3: ..... done
pkg-static: Missing shlib libjvm.so required by scilab

Failed to install the following 1 package(s): /packages/All/scilab-6.1.1_28.pkg

I'm not using this port, so I'm fine if we mark it as broken and deprecate it. Especially since this port depends on some older Java ports that need openjdk8. And I would like to minimize the usage of openjdk8 in the ports tree. I am also very curious if anybody is actually using this port.
But maybe somebody recognizes the error and has a quick fix.

If nobody stands up in a few days I'm going to deprecate this port (which still gives somebody the time to stand up and fix it).

Regards,
Ronald.
