--- Comment #3 from Harald Eilertsen <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for raising this issue.

I hope michaelo@'s answer helps you for now, but this is clearly something =
we
need to address to make it smoother. A first, step would be to fix the
dependencies on ports that would be satisfied with the headless (or even mo=
re
relevant jre-headless) flavour.

This will not fix it completely, though, as the different flavours are comp=
lete
ports that install to their separate target directories. If we could replic=
ate
the debian approach to packing OpenJDK (as I described here:
https://kodeknekkeriet.net/en/blog/introducing-flavors-in-openjdk-freebsd/),
that could possibly make things a bit smoother. Not sure how easy that is to
acheive in the FreeBSD ports system, though.

I'll try to have another go at it.
