Comment (by kjduling):

 I recognize the concern and had the same reaction when I did the original
 port for Apache Geode M2.  So, I looked at what other maintainers had
 done.  Some Java ports install binaries while others install source and
 build locally.  Maven and gradle are two examples of Apache apps in Java
 that are under MacPorts as binary installs. As the Homebrew maintainer for
 Geode chose to do a binary install, I went that route to maintain
 consistency.

 Geode definitely has some requirements, as do the other Java binary ports.
 Geode needs Java 1.8.  The version of OSX is (should be) irrelevant.

 If you would rather see the port download sources and compile, the
 Portfile can be rewritten to do this instead.  But due to the
 inconsistency of ports in the database, I feel that MacPorts should come
 up with a policy defining when a binary port is acceptable, and when it is
 not.
