bsd.java.mk 2.0

[Herve Quiroz]

Another release!

The web page also has been updated:

http://www.esil.univ-mrs.fr/~hquiroz/freebsd/bsd.java.mk-2.0.html

It now contains a simple example (that I "stole" from Ernst's
bsd.java.mk original page) and a more detailed "Java porter's manual".

Regarding bsd.java.mk itself, here is the status:

CHANGES:
2003-10-06:
  - Done some cleanning (final release deadline is near!)
  - More verbose (and better formatted) 'java-debug' target
  - Now using ${VAR:Mpattern} for pattern detection instead of tr|grep (JAVA_VERSION, JAVA_VENDOR, JAVA_OS...)
  - JAVA_PORT_OS is now set to the OS keyword (use _JAVA_VENDOR_keyword for complete OS name)
  - Two new variables (stage 5): JAVA_PORT_VENDOR_DESCRIPTION and JAVA_PORT_OS_DESCRIPTION (respective full names)
  - Changed the way '+' is handled in JAVA_VERSION (no more _JAVA_PORTS_1_x_UP variables) -> easier to maintain
  - Changed _JAVA_PORT_xxx_META to _JAVA_PORT_xxx_INFO (just personal preference)

TODO:
 - Implement a sorting mechanism for JDK port selection
 - Handle JDK/JRE
 - Decide definitively the name/keyword for JDK vendors (and then rename JDK ports in bsd.java.mk)
 - Handle installed JDK ports using metainformation available
 - Decide if we get rid of the JAVA_HOME overide stuff
 - Handle the case where no JDK port is suitable (whenever the port is broken)

PS: Ernst, I hope you don't mind my plagiarism of your page. If this is
the case, please let me know...
