15 Actually, what I was asking was _would_ it work without the overlay? I
16 mean, if the ebuild is marked =virtual/jdk-1.4, then I could understand a
17 potential for trouble. But when it's just marked (whether by laziness or
18 whether it's correct) virtual/jdk, it'd be nice to know whether 1.5 could
19 work.

21 Anyway, since I don't develop in Java, this is really a non-issue for me
22 -- more an academic question and a desire to keep current. I _am_ going to
23 keep fooling with having a 1.5 jre with a 1.4 jdk and see how that works
24 as described in my other post. Thx for the replies!
