That's my fault, I believe. JDK/JRE differenciation is a planned
feature. I just didn't had the time to implement it yet. The original
proposal mention this behaviour [1] but then I wrote some erroneous
documentation. I will change the documentation in bsd.java.mk header and
in the Porter's handbook as well to reflect this.

BTW I think I have found a simple way to implement JDK/JRE
differenciation, so I'll give it a try in the near future...

Thanks for reporting that.
