The bad news is that it is not yet commited. The good news is that there is already a working version. Available at: http://www.esil.univ-mrs.fr/~hquiroz/freebsd/bsd.java.mk-2.0.html Everything is explained further on the page. And if you plan to use such a feature, why not beta-testing bsd.java.mk 2.0 ? Getting feedback from porters who are using some of the new features (like you) will speedup the developement of bsd.java.mk... and hopefuly its commit will happen sooner. BTW, post 5.2-RELEASE should be the right time to commit bsd.java.mk 2.0 IMHO. This gives us enough time to fix it before the next release. Ernst, you told Greg and I that you were quite busy some months ago. Is this still the case ? I will update bsd.java.mk 2.0 this week and build another snapshot to reflect the latest JDK/JRE releases so you and Greg may review it. Regards, Herve.
