That took me some reading but after that and after inspecting
the suggested path's available sections this is what I appended for Tcl/Tk:
_whatdb /usr/local/lib/tcl8.5/man/whatis.db
_whatdb /usr/local/lib/tk8.5/man/whatis.db
_default /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/
1 /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/man1
3 /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/man3
n /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/mann
And this for JDK:
_whatdb /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man/whatis.db
_default /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man/
1 /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man/man1
That is just a suggestion. I still contemplate if I want the _default lines...
