Alright, so it has to be more complex, than I thought, but evidently it has to take the ARCH into account as each JDK has platforms, where it does not build. > Now there are other selection criteria (native or not, vendor), so it > doesn't make sense to arbitrarily pick one selection criterion (version) and > mix it with the simple yes/no of whether the port uses Java or not. Why not continue mixing it? The yes/no is, literally, a one-bit value, but many bytes are used to store it. > Despite that, the old way of doing things does work, you'll just get hate > mail from Herve and I if you commit a new port that uses it ;-). I'll look forward to that. Thanks... -mi P.S. Can you, please, look into the JAVA_HOME not being appended to MAKE_ENV properly? Thanks!
