Malan, The problem is that the Forte port depends on the Sun JDK 1.3.1 for Linux and it does not support specifying a different JDK. Some ports support this and some don't. A generic solution has been developed (called 'bsd.java.mk') that allows all ports to be very flexible in this respect. As soon as this has materialized all Java-related ports will be changed to use this solution. In the meantime you can try bugging the maintainer or you can send a PR, using send-pr(1). I suggest you do the latter and just CC the maintainer.
