1 Some time ago Gentoo made a fundamental change in the way Java JDKs and
2 JREs are handled, and as per instructions I read somewhere (I don't
3 remember where), I put the following in /etc/portage/package.keywords:
4
5 # Core Gentoo/Java Packages
6 dev-java/ant-core
7 dev-java/ant-tasks
8 dev-java/ant
9 dev-java/java-config
10 dev-java/java-config-wrapper
11 dev-java/javatoolkit
12 # JDKs
13 =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4*
14 =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5*
15 =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6*
16 =dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4*
17 =dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin-1.5*
18 =dev-java/jrockit-jdk-bin-1.4*
19 =dev-java/jrockit-jdk-bin-1.5*
20 =dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4*
21 dev-java/kaffe
22 # JREs
23 =dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.4*
24 =dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.5*
25 =dev-java/ibm-jre-bin-1.4*
26 =dev-java/blackdown-jre-1.4*
27 # Virtuals
28 virtual/jdk
29 virtual/jre
30 # Compilers
31 dev-java/eclipse-ecj
32 dev-java/jikes
33 # Documentation
34 dev-java/java-sdk-docs
35 # Misc packages that have been updated to generation-2,
36 # where the generation-1 won't build and/or run properly
37 dev-java/lucene
38 dev-java/gnu-jaxp
39 # These have optional Java support, but need ~arch to function properly
40 # with generation-2
41 dev-util/subversion
42 sys-libs/db
43
44 This stuff looks rather out of date at this point. Is it still needed?
45 Is there a newer version, or more up-to-date instructions posted
46 somewhere?
