I discussed a possible solution to the problem with axxo the other day. |
| 27 |
Basically we should remove all the use flags and make java-config able |
| 28 |
to configure the java plugin. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
In the meanwhile feel free to rename the USE flags, but you can of |
| 31 |
course help the java team by improving =java-config-2.0* and adding |
| 32 |
support for plugin configuring. |
