Rereading your mail I saw some more concerns you mention.
1. When developing your port for main it can be easier to install dependencies
for main also. That gives consistency to what is upstream.
2. As long as the maintainer of maven39 does not merge the changes to the
quarterly branch, you don't need to do anything for quarterly. But keep the
4.38 tag unchanged in github.
3. Your https://github.com/NorbertXYZ/eclipse repo has a nice README.md, maybe
add something similar to the eclipse-maven repo with instructions to your
future self on how you did things. 😀 I totally recognize going back to some
project years later and wondering how things worked.
If you get stuck, there are probably some people here or on java@ that want to
help further.
NB: it can really help to keep ports@ in the cc:, if you want feedback from
others too.
Regards,
Ronald.

Thank you - that is the reason... I can see this in freshports on the
internet...
But how to handle this? So I have jails to test my eclipse on aarch64 and amd64. It runs
14-RELEASE-p9 and uses preinstalled quaterly packages - that means also the "older"
maven39 port. My question is: if I would install the newest packages from latest - would it fix
the problem? But what happens with poudiere runs for the quaterly packages. They would need
"older" maven39, or? and if I use software, I install packages from quaterly. I am a
bit confused about how to proceed...
All the best, Norbert :-)

Your GH_TUPLE line defines a specific tag to use, which is now the same as
DISTVERSION (4.38).
NorbertXYZ:eclipse-maven:${DISTVERSION}:n
A possible solution is to create a new tag in github (4.38_2) and use that in
the main port and leave the quarterly port unchanged.
NorbertXYZ:eclipse-maven:${DISTVERSION}_2:n
See: https://github.com/NorbertXYZ/eclipse-maven/tags
I hope this helps.

Ronald.
