If you are building ports you may get unexpected build depends. That's
just the way it goes. Remember the goal is to create quality packages,
not faster builds. Once db-java is available via snapshots, you can get
away building OOo with just devel/jdk/1.4 by installing it before the
db-java package.
Fair enough. Thank you for your reply and explanation.
