Well the java herd always needs more people improving the ebuilds. There |
| 17 |
are 151 ebuilds in the dev-java category and only a few active devs. So |
| 18 |
please instead of going the manual way, file bugs at bugs.gentoo.org. |

I don't think there are any problems using J5 for development at the |
| 25 |
moment. Just don't use it as the system vm. Of course installing masked |
| 26 |
packages can make users a little unconfortable. |
