[gentoo-java] JDK used for compiling

[Sven Köhler]

Hi,

if multiple JDKs are installed, which one is used for compiling
packages? And why have you chosen that strategy?


I was conviced, that ebuilds always use the lowest JDK version possible.
But it seems, that packages use the System VM - which is 1.6 in my case.
But 1.5 is also installed.

So i like the idea, that, once i have troubles with 1.6, i may switch
back to 1.5. But, there is a fair chance, that packages compiled with
1.6 doen't work with 1.5. And no: using "-target 1.5" is NOT sufficiant
due to overloading.


So which JDK version is actually used by daemons? Is it the system-VM
too? So how can i run my daemon with JDK 1.6 while compiling things
against JDK 1.5?


Thanks,
  Sven
