>Description:
The blackdown jdk 1.2 (linux binary) according to the Makefile
conflicts with the netbsd native jdk 1.1.8, probably because
they both want to live beyond /usr/pkg/java. Given the
"special" properties of Java, though, it is standard practise
for developers to set up several jdks in varying versions on a
machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install blackdown jdk side-by-side with jdk-1.1.8 and
find the pkg does not let you.
>Fix:
Slap identifier/version number to each jdk's root dir
(jdk1.1.8, linux-jdk1.2.2, etc.), create a symlink from there
to /usr/pkg/java
