[gentoo-java] Questions about packages

[David Highley]

I have some generic questions about the gentoo Java packages. First I
wonder why you would package Sun's Java for x86 and x86_64 platforms
since it can be down loaded from Sun.

Second question is why I do not see any apparent attempts at creating a
package for Sun's distribution on the Power PC platform. I'm interested
in this as we have a need for Java on an embedded OS platform that is
running on a Power PC board. We are very interested in the effort it
would take to build Sun's Java 1.5.x source to create a JRE for this
platform the OS is very Linux like. Thanks
