Phase 1 is at the moment the most important, that's for > sure :-) Has there been any movement on this? As a full-time Java developer who uses FreeBSD as my primary OS, I'm continually frustrated by the schizophrenic nature of many Java ports. (To wit, I've spent much of this evening tracking down issues in lang/jython and its use of java/javavmwrapper, which seems to have a bug w.r.t passing the -cp option - PRs forthcoming.) I'm no ports guru, but I am willing to help migrate existing ports to use the new system. Moreover, I have some free time coming up. :-) So, what's the status on implementing the new system? -- Christopher Elkins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
