Hey folks, I've recently updated the project page to include some more |
| 2 |
information about the Java 1.5 Overlay. |

In case you hadn't heard, the project page is located at: |

I barely made the commit, so it may take a bit to hit the main site. |

Related to this, when switching over to the overlay, it is highly |
| 11 |
recommended you re-emerge all Java packages. This is pretty important, |
| 12 |
because the packages now maintain additional metadata. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Until now, we haven't had a nice packaged way of doing this. I've made |
| 15 |
up a script that will hopefully handle this. |

I've used this a few times without problems, but as always, could use |
| 19 |
some input/feedback. |

NOTE: this is _not_ for fixing a system that was using Java 1.5 as a |
| 22 |
system VM before switching to the overlay. |
