------------------------+--------------------------------
 Attached is a Portfile and accessory (files/scala2.11) to create a port
 for the scala 2.11 series of releases, beginning with 2.11.0-RC3. This
 port mostly conforms to the conventions of the scala 2.10 port and its
 pre-release antecedents, with one major exception.

 Scala 2.11 begins a modularization project which splits off several parts
 of the main distribution into accessory jar files. These jar files are
 included in the main distribution tarball, however they complicate the
 classpath. In the Scala 2.10 Portfile, symlinks to the Scala distribution
 jar files are placed in /opt/local/share/java. Because of the increased
 complexity introduced by the modularity of the scala 2.11 distribution,
 this Portfile discontinues this practice. Modularity of the Scala
 distribution is an ongoing effort, and it's not unreasonable to assume
 that future releases of Scala will have even more complex classpaths.
 Given that this change in convention is made in a major release, there is
 no impact to scala 2.10 installations. Scala 2.10 macports users which use
 the scala library symlinks in /opt/local/share/java can find the scala jar
 files in /opt/local/share/scala-2.11/lib instead.
