Hi. I'm working on getting a FreeBSD port of XT going - An XSL processor written in Java. I'm making a FreeBSD port for it while I'm at it. XSL is the W3C's stylesheet language for XML, currently at working draft stage. I haven't done any development with Java in the past, and this isn't really a Java project. I just want this application for command line use. Could someone a bit more familiar with Java suggest where a port of this program should put it's class files in the FreeBSD file system? I see that /usr/ports/devel/sawt puts it's class files in a .zip file in /usr/local/share/java Is this the way to proceed then? Since XT is designed likely to be run server side as part of a web server arrangement and needs to be fast, I'd rather not compress the file, but I'd welcome recomendations as to whether I should use a .jar file or perhaps the class files should be unpacked within that directory? Also, XT relies on having a SAX parser, and I've used XP from the same source. This in turn relies on the W3C SAX classes. Any thoughts on whether these should be separate ports with dependencies, or a single port?
