The port hasn't been updated substantially in well over 7 years. The port is set to fetch from CVS, but according to the project's homepage, they now use SVN for ​their repository. The current version available there is 1.0.0. The port should be updated.

Well, I saw there's a tb_1_0_0 tag in the repository, but it looks like it was created very early on; that may not be an actual usable tag. The latest version for download on the web site is "0.52".

Updating the port to use svn fetching and the xcode portgroup, it can't be built on Snow Leopard and newer because it uses Jam.

Firing up my Tiger machine, it can't be built because 'File "UnitTest-Info.plist" does not exist'.

I downloaded the 0.52 disk image and ran the application inside on Tiger. Its about box says it's version "0.5 (0.4)". The app seems to work, though it's PowerPC, so on Intel Macs it needs Rosetta, and it crashes on quit. On Snow Leopard, the app opens and shows its window but it doesn't work; Console says it's looking for Java 1.3 which doesn't exist anymore. And of course Lion doesn't have Rosetta anymore.

We probably should just delete this port. This software is dead.
