Yes, I had forgotten about the actual error. There must be a minor problem in the Makefile and I will send a note to the maintainer. I just tested and replicated. This is in Makefile v 1.82 2004/11/24 15:16:38 On a system that jdk has never been built on you will get the following: cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14 server02# make printf: missing format character ===> jdk-1.4.2p6_6 is*** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk14. But on a system where it has already been built you will get: cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14/ server01# make ===> jdk-1.4.2p6_6 is forbidden: Vulnerabilities in the browser plugin. server01# Solution: The only way to continue is to use the MINIMAL switch: cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14/ server01# make MINIMAL=yes But you won't get the browser plugins in your build.
