Even if all the ebuilds had the right jdk version in the DEPEND, it |
| 27 |
still wouldn't quite help. This is mostly because the current build |
| 28 |
system isn't smart enough to switch to an appropriate JDK at build time, |
| 29 |
and because you could still have a 1.4 JDK installed, but your 1.5 JDK |
| 30 |
is set as the system VM. Fortunately, the new system (which is coming |
| 31 |
soon (TM)) addresses these problems and more. |
