As reported in http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=53851 , we need to set the netbeans_jdkhome variable in the config file for netbeans to function correctly on FreeBSD. This patch adds a pkg-message file explaining this.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->olgeni Over to maintainer. Just my two cents: why not patching the configuration file to hardcode the JDK home path instead? The port has registered a dependency on a particular JDK so we could (should) use it.
State Changed From-To: open->closed The configuration file was patched in the 4.1 update.
