I now understand that eclipse-ecj is a requirement of Tomcat, however |
2 |
I do not understand why it requires X11. |
3 |
After removing the alsa, cups and gtk use flags from icedtea-bin, |
4 |
emerge still wants to pull in X11 and an assortment of packages |
5 |
related to X11. |
6 |
Do you have any ideas on how I can emerge tomcat without bringing in |
7 |
X? I'd rather keep my server headless. |

Thanks again. |
