So split the JRE's and JDK's into VM's, Compilers and packages like the |
| 31 |
Ant into core and tasks, for instance: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
virtual/java-vm-1.6 |
| 34 |
dev-java/sun-vm-1.6.0.2 |
| 35 |
dev-java/ibm-vm-1.4.3 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
virtual/java-compiler-1.6 |
| 38 |
dev-java/sun-compiler-1.6.0.2 |
| 39 |
dev-java/ibm-compiler-1.4.3 |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
virtual/java-javax-management-1.6 |
| 42 |
dev-java/sun-javax-management-1.6 |
| 43 |
dev-java/ibm-javax-management-1.4.3 |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Let the commercial JDK's be forgotten if their licenses disagree with |
| 46 |
this. |
