Summary

The FreeBSD Java community is currently trying to improve and cleanup the various Java ports in the tree. This page is an attempt to monitor the current state of Java ports.

The plan

Given the recent additions to the Porter's handbook[1], the new features added into bsd.java.mk[2,3,4,5,6], some PRs[11,12], and the recent discussion[3] and statements that occured on this list lately, I've set up this page so we all know what is currently wrong within the ports tree (java-wise that is).

Indeed, there are still many ports that use bsd.java.mk 1.0 syntax. Worse, there are still ports that use a JDK but do not even use bsd.java.mk.

So for now, this script[7] that I will run on a regular basis (probably in a cron job) produces a short, keyword-oriented report of the current state of the Java ports in the tree[8]. Feel free to ask questions if you ever find this useful.

The script is flexible and I am opened to suggestions regarding which checks should be performed. My plan for now is:

  • Fix incriminated ports (obviously)
  • Build a nice webpage with links to the ports CVS web interface and keyword description (maybe even a fancy banner to state that "this script is powered by FreeBSD :-))
  • Probably cross-link it with Mark Linimon's ports/PR monitoring page[10]
  • Implement checks for ports that should use bsd.java.mk

I believe I have listed quite most of the recent (or not so recent) issues related to Java in the ports tree but feel free to suggest additional pointers so we have a central point to reference them.
