The number of Java related ports aren't that many. If C/C++ had its own categor first, then I could understand it. There are enough `www' and `news' ports that they would really clutter `net' if the ports lived there. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
