New port java/jakarta-poi. The POI project consists of APIs for manipulating various file formats based upon Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format using pure Java. In short, you can read and write MS Excel files using Java. Soon, you'll be able to read and write Word files using Java. POI is your Java Excel solution as well as your Word Excel solution. However, we have a complete API for porting other OLE 2 Compound Document formats and welcome others to participate. Fix: shar:
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->hq I'll handle this.
State Changed From-To: open->feedback As stated in the Porter's handbook, a Java port should not use the 'java' category as its main category unless, the application is strongly related to the Java platform itself (e.g. JDKs). Could you think of another, more relevant category? After a quick look at the shar file, I don't understand why you use different DESTJARFILE and JARFILE variables when they are affected to the same value. Anyway, I think JARFILE should be ${PORTNAME}.jar as JAR files in ${JAVAJARDIR} generally do not have a version number attached. It helps when other ports depend on this file.

Anton, Could you review the attached new port? It add the following to your submitted new port: - Use 'textproc' as the main category - Use NO_WRKSUBDIR - Set USE_JIKES=no as the port does not build with Jikes - Remove indents in pkg-descr - Install 'poi.jar' with no indication of the version nor the date of build in the name Herve
looks good.
State Changed From-To: feedback->closed New port added. I'm really sorry for the lag. I must have skipped over your last reply... BTW, I added a dependency on textproc/xalan-j. Thanks for your contribution and your patience!
