Oh... This is what I know...
Just thought you have some kind of time-line, since there should be a
small number of generation-1 packages now.

Since I didn't like what you have done... We discussed this long
ago... I like only one jdk to be installed on my system, created patch
for every one which does not work... But then you came with the
generation-2 build which forces 1.4 to be installed, so I faked 1.5 to
be generation-1 and continue to have one jdk on my system.

But nevermind... All packages listed above are working with 1.5 so
please convert them to generation-2.

I think you should switch into the top-bottom tree scanning selecting
popular packages like tomcat and make sure the whole stable tree of
dependencies is generation-2 compliant.
