Comment (by blair@…):

 At least in Scala 2.11.x, it looks like the jars may change names for each
 minor version, so if MacPorts provides a stable path to a jar that can be
 used in scripts, then that's a good thing.  I've needed the symlinks for
 build systems that are not ant, mvn or sbt so it's nice to have a short
 path that doesn't have to dive into the layout that the Scala tarball
 explodes into.

 I don't think it's that hard to keep the Portfile to maintain the
 symlinks, maybe the for loop is changed to be a loop of strings of the
 form "akka-actor_2.11.0-RC3-2.3.0.jar:akka-actor_2.11.jar" that is split
 on : to generate the name for $prefix/share/java.

 Let me know your thoughts.

 Blair
