I'll handle this. 

It is recommended[1] for new ports not to use 'java' as their main category 
unless they relate strongly to the Java platform itself (e.g. JDKs). Moreover, 
a port shall never be only part of the 'java' category. Do you think of any 
other category (or categories) that the port could be part of?

I assumed it was tied in closely enough since it is a BSD-licensed
implementation of Sun's Java API for XML Binding and Java Data Objects
specifications.  It doesn't seem to fit nicely in any categories other
than 'misc' or 'devel'.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

New port added to the 'java' category. 

BTW, I set USE_JIKES=no and JAVA_VERSION=1.4 as there seem to be a problem with 
both JDK 1.5 and Jikes. 

I also changed the name of the installed JAR file. It is indeed preferable to 
install JAR files without version numbers (to ease dependencies). 

Thanks for your contribution!
