Description Hervé Quiroz 2003-11-18 18:40:08 UTC 
PCGen is a Java-based RPG character generator and maintenance program that
works on all platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, etc). It currently is
aimed at supporting as many rpgs as humanly possible. Currently our focus is on
OGL games (OGL = the Open Gaming License crafted by Wizards of the Coast).

All datafiles are ASCII so they can be modified by users, and are available
through the pcgendm project. An XML conversion is underway.

WWW: http://pcgen.sourceforge.net

Notes from the maintainer:

 - This port could be located in games/pcgen instead... you decide
 - I know that PCGen requires Java 1.3+ but I enforced the use of 1.4. This is
   because the PCGen team is currently trying to switch to 1.4 only.
 - 5.4.0 is not the latest (stable) release of PCGen. There's a patch (5.4.1)
   but I prefered to have a "clean" port to start with and the PCGen dev team
   is updating the stable release quite often.
 - The port could become a meta-port, with the following "child" ports:
	- Core (and possibly also a Core-Devel child port as the project is quite
	  active)
	- Data: the various RPG material from PCGen team
	- 3rd Party Data: the various RPG material from other sources
	- Docs
	- Extra libs: currently skin.zip (a L&F lib) and pdf.zip (to produce PDF
	  character sheets)
Comment 1 Hervé Quiroz 2003-11-27 14:00:20 UTC 
Just a quick fix:

Now the port uses the new PORTDOCS macro in Makefile to reduce the size
of pkg-plist.
