Understood. Depending on which Java packages you are trying to use |
| 14 |
there may be problems, but at least you know the risks. The types of |
| 15 |
problems are varied and sometimes a bit complicated -- see the other |
| 16 |
parts of this thread for more detailed information. |

Furthermore, in doing this you are putting your Gentoo environment into |
| 19 |
a less-supportable design. In other words, some folks may be less |
| 20 |
interested in helping you should any problems arise, so make sure you |
| 21 |
are "comfortable" in dealing with system problems yourself. |

If this doesn't sound desirable to you, I suggest you leave a 1.4 JDK on |
| 24 |
your machine for now (in addition to the 1.5 JDK, of course). Unless |
| 25 |
you cannot afford the disk space or something, it may save you some |
| 26 |
problems in the long run, and it doesn't hurt anything in doing so. |

Well, this gets tricky. Nothing should be reported that may be caused |
| 32 |
by system conflicts from unmasking a masked package (that's why they are |
| 33 |
masked in the first place). Therefore, unless you are pretty certain |
| 34 |
that a given problem is NOT related to a masked package conflict, you |
| 35 |
shouldn't report it (IMO). |
