+ Use JAVA_PREFERRED_PORT instead (see below).
+
+ . The default JDK port now depends on OS version:
+ java/diablo-jdk13 for 4.x, and java/jdk14 for 5.x
+
+ . It is now possible for the user (and the porters) to
+ define a list of preferred JDK ports to build and run ports.
+ The port will use the first JDK port from the list that

+ JAVA_PREFERRED_PORT contains a list of suitable JDK ports
+ (sorted by preference). Names for JDKs may be found in
+ bsd.java.mk, listed in ${_JAVA_PORTS_ALL} (e.g.
+ "JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_1_4").
+
+ . JAVA_PORT_VERSION is now set to the full version number
+ of the chosen JDK (e.g. "1.4.2"). Porters will find hints
+ regarding how to obtain the same behavior as before in the
+ header of bsd.java.mk.
