Dear all,

I'm trying to produce some patches to upgrade the
databases/mysql-connector-java port to the most recent GA version --
5.1.5.  Unfortunately, things on the 5.1 branch are significantly
different to the 5.0 branch, and I'm running into a Catch 22 situation.

Compiling the part of the driver that provides JDBC3.0 functionality
(which is essentially the same as the 5.0 version of the driver)
works fine with diablo-jdk1.5.  Compiling the part of the driver that
provides JDBC4.0 functionality however requires Java 6.  Unfortunately
though, compiling the JDBC3.0 code doesn't work with Java 6.  It seems
I need to have multiple java versions installed and to switch between
them for different targets from build.xml

I can't see how to make this work with the bsd.java.mk setup in ports.
If anyone cares to take a look, I've a copy of the port as a work
in progress at

   http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5.tbz

I have switched the preferences in the port so that the default is
to install the pre-compiled .jar file directly from the distfile.
In order to turn on the compilation step you now need to do:

   make -DWITH_COMPILE

You'll need java/jdk16 installed for that.

Any suggestions? Or should I just give up on trying to have the ports
system compile the driver?

	Cheers,

	Matthew
