Sorry about the late reply. The best way to get started with Gentoo/Java |
| 26 |
is to play with Java ebuilds. You can find info on ebuild writing here: |

This is probably a bit too much to cover before the start of GSoC so I |
| 32 |
propose hanging around our IRC channel #gentoo-java@freenode and asking |
| 33 |
many questions. Please note that we are not always around so the channel |
| 34 |
can be somewhat silent at times. |
