Sorry, it seems that I forgot to add that paragraph. %-) |

I have not changed which NetBeans modules to install. So netbeans pulls |
| 14 |
in netbeans-java, which depends on appframework, which tries to install |
| 15 |
jnlp-bin. :-( |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
dev-java/netbeans-java-7.0 also depends on dev-java/jta:0, which is |
| 18 |
licensed under sun-bcla-jta, and therefore not free. |

On the one hand, I do not like to have software installed on my system |
| 25 |
which forbids (for example) reverse-engineering in its license. On the |
| 26 |
other hand, Gentoo users like to build packages from their source code, |
| 27 |
and not use pre-bundled binaries. |

I always thought that NetBeans was Freely available, and under |
| 34 |
non-discriminatory terms. Seems that I was wrong, and that Sun/Oracle is |
| 35 |
a bit more evil than I thought. ;-) |

It used the source which I found for JSR 67, which is licensed under the |
| 42 |
CDDL. I assume that the binaries provided by Oracle are also built from |
| 43 |
these sources. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I also compared the APIs, and they seemed to be equal. I hope I did |
| 46 |
everything properly. Someone could help with comparing the APIs of the |
| 47 |
generated class files a second time. |

By the way, no need to Cc me, I’m subscribed. |

Happy coding! |
