There have been some updates to the JDK/JRE system that might require you |
2 |
to update and remerge your JDK/JRE. (emerge rsync ; emerge |
3 |
dev-java/<your-favourite-jdk/jre>) |
4 |
|
5 |
If you run into problems with Java, first update your JRE/JDK. You will |
6 |
not be required to download any binaries, it is only the Gentoo-specific |
7 |
setup that has changed. |
8 |
|

Changes include: |
10 |
* Support for the IBM JDK and JREs. I have had problems with the IBM |
11 |
browser-plugin, but I am leaving it enabled until I get flames about its |
12 |
instability as we're still pre-1.0. * Merging the JRE after the JDK will |
13 |
no longer bust the paths.* You can now query java-config about both JDK |
14 |
and JRE settings if both are installed.* Tomcat-4.0.1 is back |
15 |
|
16 |
Still not resolved properly is: |
17 |
* emerge rsync ; emerge --world update will try to install both the JRE |
18 |
and JDK, even though the JDK supercedes the JRE if installed. Workaround: |
19 |
Always make certain /etc/make.profile/virtuals uses the |
20 |
<yourfavourite>-jdk to resolve the jre before doing emerge update. This |
21 |
should only affect people with the JDK installed. |

|
23 |
Keep the bug reports coming ;) |
