subversion-javahlbindings fails to build

[squiggledid]

I've just done "sudo port -d selfupdate;sudo port upgrade outdated" as I do every weeked. Port subversion-javahlbindings fails to build (immediately after subversion has been upgraded). I have two Macs (an old Mac Mini and a recent MacBook Pro). It failed in the same way on both, as shown below. I tried uninstalling all versions, cleaning, and reinstalling. It failed in the same way.

Unfortunately, the javahl bindings won't built against newer java sdks (requires javah in the build). Upstream hasn't fixed this yet. I've set up the port to now build with --with-jdk=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_181.jdk/Contents/Home/ (since jdk 1.8.0_181 is the latest java sdk release that you can download from oracle that includes javah). If you install that, it will build.

It's probably worth adding a note to the port about it (patches or pull requests welcome if you get to it before I get a chance to do so).
