The behaviour of your port will not change. The behaviour of some other ports
will change, though. More specifically: The ports that define USE_JAVA but do
not use ${JAVAC} will not depend on Jikes anymore, even if bsd.java.mk
previously determined that Jikes should be used if a Java compiler was
necessary.
The problem is that bsd.java.mk currently sets Jikes as a dependency for any
port that has USE_JAVA defined and Jikes installed on their system...
Hope this is clear. If it's not, then it's my fault. I'm tired ||-)
