Description (last modified by chrstphrchvz (Christopher Chavez))

Latest release is currently 8.0.16 (2019-04-25). Current version of port, 5.1.12, is from 2010, and has an at least one outdated dependency: jakarta-log4j (#53458).

The port should also use the Java portgroup instead of a fallback dependency on deprecated port kaffe(#60206).

Note that although there are still Connector/J 5.1.x releases being made, they now have the unusual requirement of needing both JDK 5 and JDK 8 simultaneously in order to be built from source. Connector/J 8.0.x only needs JDK 8 or later for building.

The jakarta-log4j dependency might also be optional or unneeded.

I personally have no need for this port.
