Any progress?
Hi, The complezxity of actually building the jar in the FreeBSD ports structure seems overly complex. The alternatiuve would be to just let the port download the prebuilt jar. On the other hand, are people really using this port? I would expect most ppl to distribute jar files using a different approach from packages? Palle

The alternatiuve would be to just let the port download the prebuilt jar. I think precompiled jar is enough. > On the other hand, are people really using this port? I would expect most ppl to distribute jar files using a different approach from packages? I used it, but it's too outdated now - use embedded in application or downloaded manually precompiled jar.
