The preferred location seems to be ${PREFIX}/share/java/classes.
That's what I'd seen in other ports and what I copied for
databases/mysql-jdbc-mm
I think that's still appropriate, since the JVM finds out about
it via your CLASSPATH variable.

I assume this was "ports of Java applications". I think the
standard for Java class documentation (as opposed to Java application
documentation) is HTML generated by javadoc, which IMHO beats the pants
off man pages. I suppose it'd be possible to generate manpages via
the latest javadoc, or via one of the free javadoc reimplementations.
