Hi

dev-java/ has currently 338 packages (and growing ;) ) - maybe it is a
good idea to split it to multiple categories? (basic idea is much like
with perl-core or www-apache categories). My proposal (it has to be
polished - that's just an idea):

 - java-vm/ - all JDKs and JREs (sun, blackdown, kaffe, etc.. jamvm,
sablevm ?)
 - java-commons/ - all commons-* [ other possibility: java-jakarta - to
have all commons-* and jakarta-* packages in it ]
 - java-libs/ - all packages providing Java API for other libraries
(like gnome-java, libgconf-java, libgtk-java, etc...)
 - java-web - WWW related packages (like template engines, web
frameworks) [ or java-www ]
 - java-db - database access, persistence frameworks, JDBC
 - java-apps - standalone Java applications - like jvmstat, jython, etc)

all the rest could be left in dev-java or moved (preffered?) to
java-util/java-dev/java-misc.

That way the huge dev-java could be made manageable again :)
