The problem I have is that the first patch removes all support for JAVA_VERSION < 1.5. I had a similar patch that preserves this support by mapping 1.2+, 1.3+ and 1.4+ to 1.5+, much the way things work currently for 1.2+. Based on java-version.txt, that's an awful lot of ports that need to be touched otherwise. Were you proposing to update those ports at the same time as you commit your patch? -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
