[Bug 291850] dns/dnsjava: update to 3.6.3 and take maintainership

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291850

--- Comment #3 from Michael Osipov <michaelo@FreeBSD.org> ---
This is interesting, but inconsistent in the ports tree -- and not right IMHO.

Look at Go and Rust ports, all dependencies retain the version of the
dependency INSIDE the port. Among Java ports it is completely inconsistent.

Now, dissecting to bits seems to be a Debian approach -- one of the reasons why
many upstream maintainers reject Debian packages, refuse to react to
issues/reports and recommend users use upstream tarballs. I am a committer with
Apache Tomcat and Apache Maven, additionally port maintainer of the latter.
Both ports are being built from binary tarballs because only the bundled JARs
have been tested and blessed by upstream. From that PoV I am very confused by
JMeter is broken up into bits.

There is a PR about Apache Ant building from source. My personal opinion: A
noble goal, but does not make sense at all. JARs are portable and shall be
reused, just like Python wheels from PyPI.

But of course, if you want that burden that is completely upto you.
