I have no idea why there is no (package-masked) Apache 2.2 in portage, I |
5 |
would have liked that to, but I would like to defend the gentoo-java |
6 |
team, who I think are doing a wonderful job. Currently they are very |
7 |
busy trying to do the java-config migration required for Java 1.5 (and |
8 |
Java 1.6), which is an impressive undertaking considering their lack of |
9 |
manpower. (see https://projects.gentooexperimental.org/expj/wiki) |
10 |
|
11 |
After that I assume they will refocus on rev bumps such as Tomcat 5.5. |
12 |
For the impatient you can take a look at the experimental overlay, where |
13 |
Tomcat 5.5 already is present. |
14 |
(see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/java/experimental.xml) |
15 |
|
16 |
As for jdk's, currently only 5 is fully supported (blackdown-jdk-1.3, |
17 |
blackdown-jdk-1.4, ibm-jdk-bin-1.4, sun-jdk-1.3, and sun-jdk-1.4), but |
18 |
in addition there is 8 more available if you have special |
19 |
needs/interests (compaq-jdk-1.3, ibm-jdk-bin-1.5, jrockit-jdk-bin-1.5, |
20 |
sun-jdk-1.2, sun-jdk-1.5, sun-jdk-1.6, kaffe-1.1, sablevm-1.11), and we |
21 |
are still not counting jre's (all above, blackdown-jre-1.3, |
22 |
blackdown-jre-1.4, sun-jre-bin-1.4, sun-jre-bin-1.5, compaq-jre-1.3, |
23 |
ibm-jre-bin-1.4, sablevm-1.1, jamvm-1.3, jamvm-1.4, ikvm-0.14, |
24 |
ikvm-0.20, ikvm-bin-0.14), in total 25 options, counting only the one's |
25 |
I know about (there's probably more, whose name doesn't include jre, jdk |
26 |
or vm, and I thus missed). I wouldn't say there is a lack of choices, |
27 |
though I would like kaffe and sablevm better supported. |
