(In reply to Igor Kolesnik from comment #7)

Why would you generate the plist automatically from the build process? That
reduces the ability to catch errors in the build process, by seeing that what
the build process produced didn't match what it should produce. (Additionally
it removes the ability to search the plist from just the ports tree)

And why does it bring its own version of java instead of using the system
installed one? 

Installing the jar, all needed resourses (jextract/runtime/conf/jextract/?) and
a starter script, would probably cut the plist in half. And wouldn't install
another copy of keytool or public_suffix_list.dat, which are irrelevant for
jextract.
