Reproducing my comment I made on the related pull request:

I personally have no confidence in reviewing any Java related port. For example, I don't know if it is wise to use compiled Java class files and whether these will work on all available Java runtimes on the various versions of OS X.

I recognize the concern and had the same reaction when I did the original port for Apache Geode M2. So, I looked at what other maintainers had done. Some Java ports install binaries while others install source and build locally. Maven and gradle are two examples of Apache apps in Java that are under MacPorts as binary installs. As the Homebrew maintainer for Geode chose to do a binary install, I went that route to maintain consistency.

Geode definitely has some requirements, as do the other Java binary ports. Geode needs Java 1.8. The version of OSX is (should be) irrelevant.

If you would rather see the port download sources and compile, the Portfile can be rewritten to do this instead. But due to the inconsistency of ports in the database, I feel that MacPorts should come up with a policy defining when a binary port is acceptable, and when it is not.

As nobody else commented and there does not seem to be much interest in Java from other project members, I finally took the time to commit this as-is.

Thank you for your contribution. For future updates as a maintainer, just submit patches as an attachment to a new Trac ticket or make a GitHub pull request.
