Portmaster uses CONFLICTS to avoid this issue. This isn't the first
time I've heard this complaint about the java ports. I'm wondering if
glewis could shed some light on why they don't have proper CONFLICTS set.
Because they don't conflict. /usr/local/bin/javac is a script that selects
one of the installed JAVA VMs, dependant on what is available, environment
settings and a make variable that can be changed in make.conf.
AFAICT, javac isn't relevant to the issue of whether the various jdk
ports conflict with each other. It's just a convenient way to handle the
dependency question within the ports framework.
