Thanks... Herve in particular has spent a lot of time both documenting how this works and converting ports from using the deprecated syntax to using the newly supported syntax. Adding a new port that uses the deprecated syntax just makes our life harder if there is a bsd.java.mk 3.0 (which will remove that syntax altogether). > P.S.
