Description Hervé Quiroz 2004-05-21 17:50:12 UTC 
Here is the second part of the Java section of the Porter's handbook:

- Added a table for constants.
- Added a "Best practices" subsection that depicts the encouraged policy for
  Java ports regarding many aspects (location of JAR files, use of PLIST_FILES,
  category for PRs)...

NOTE: There is (again) nothing regarding JAVA_PREFERRED_PORT but now I think we
should make a short statement about it. This will probably be part of the next
iteration.

NOTE2: A lot of information from
http://www.freebsd.org/java/docs/howtoports.html is deprecated. IIRC someone
already posted something regarding this (with a patch to update it) on the
freebsd-java mailing list for review.

NOTE3: I had problems referencing sections of the same document. It works for
'html' but not for 'html-split'.

Mark Linimon is CC'ed (as we already worked together on the first part)
