Great! |

I am the Java-guy on Gentoo currently. I will give you a short round-up of |
| 4 |
the Java system in this mail, and if I get the proper time (yeah, right), |
| 5 |
flesh it into a proper HOWTO. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1) java-config is your friend |
| 8 |
2) dojar isn't too bad either |
| 9 |
3) we want all java ebuilds to work with ibm, sun and blackdown jdk and |
| 10 |
jre, if at all possible. |
| 11 |
4) given the choice, we want to use jikes as our java compiler. |
| 12 |
(This will be fixed to be a jikes use flag in the future) |
| 13 |
5) depend on virtual/jdk for things that need jar, javac, etc.. |
| 14 |
6) depend on virtual/jre for things that only need java and |
| 15 |
browser-plugins |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Look at the ebuilds in dev-java for details on usage. If there is some |
| 18 |
info that java-config does not provide that you think is a bad idea to |
| 19 |
hardcode, contact me, and I'll have it fixed (or provide a patch, and I'll |
| 20 |
apply it ;) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Also, #gentoo on irc.openprojects.net is such a nice place that I idle |
| 23 |
there almost every day :) |

Kind regards, |
