Portmaster and Portmanager problem with jdk15

Because that's part of portmaster's design. It takes each of the build
and run dependencies and handles the compilation and installation
itself. That way you get all of portmaster's benefits for each port
that you install, not just the parent.

Are there CONFLICTS set between jkd15 and linux-sun-jdk15? Portmaster
would correctly determine that the dependency was already met if so.
Another way to do that would be to wrap that line in an if
!exists(javac) type test, although in principle I would agree that it
probably shouldn't be necessary.

One thing that would make this whole problem go away is some sort of
"need depends" target that would give you all the goodness of the way
that the infrastructure tests for needed dependencies now, without
allowing the infrastructure to recurse itself. I have in mind to look
at this project when I have time, but it's not high on the list at the
moment.
