Yes, since there are still packages that don't build with 1.5, (new |
| 12 |
methods, etc). And since we do not have to resources to patch them, we |
| 13 |
can just force it to use a 1.4 one, untill upstream releases a new |
| 14 |
version, or someone patches it, this way it does not block/hold back the |
| 15 |
rest, like the case is now. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It also allows for when you have a 1.4 as system-vm, and package needs |
| 18 |
1.5 features. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Also, the launcher wrapper to run java apps uses the same base to switch |
| 21 |
vm in the abose case (1.4 user/system vm, starting an app that needs |
| 22 |
1.5) |

Yeah, most of it kind of requires you to know how the eclass works and |
| 28 |
the java-config & friends. And when I craeted the todo list it was only |

for me personaly |

| 31 |
