Noticed by: Aristedes Maniatis As documented at http://www.mysql.com/documentation/connector-j/index.html#id2800748 MySQL Connector/J really does need JDK 1.4.x to compile. Use of apache-ant appears to side-step all of the effects of the USE_JAVA knob from bsd.java.mk, so all previous testing was actually using JDK 1.4.2 to do the compilation step. Since the distfile contains a pre-compiled .jar file, which will work with any Java-2 JVM, provide a WITHOUT_BUILD option
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->linimon I'll take a look, if I can ever get my JDK updated.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed, thanks.
