The FreeBSD Ports Collection already has 1.45 version of the Bouncy Castle and this new port is based on java/bouncycastle. Newer versions are not API-compatible with that older one. Some say they should be given 2.x version numbers. So, this new version comes as distinct port java/bouncycastle15 instead of update for existing java/bouncycastle15 to keep old API version available. This is neccessary dependency for other port updates, e.g. newer version of iText PDF (devel/itext) requires new API of modern Bouncy Castle versions.
