Thanks, both of you. One specific reply:

>(...) there is no currently way to select both as equal and if you install=
 headless ports which require Java will simply use the headless one instead=
 of insisting to install the default flavor.
>
>Ports generally can pin specific versions if they cannot run on all of the=
m. Nexus, for example.

So, am I understanding correctly that the reason that all of these ports are
asking for the headless version is that none of them are specifically pinne=
d to
it? And (without underlying changes along the lines of what Harald Eilersten
mentions) the only real way to get them to use would be by changing each
individual port to pin it (which I'm surmising probably wouldn't be a terri=
bly
good idea, as many people don't want to use headless)?
