Thanks for the interesting pointer and I will certainly look at the ebuild for Java 11 to adjust it for my needs. |
| 29 |
However, the overlay is not for me. I use Gentoo as my development platform and as library developer I |
| 30 |
have a need for a wide range of JDKs: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
$ java-config -L |
| 33 |
The following VMs are available for generation-2: |
| 34 |
1) Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.03 [blackdown-jdk-1.4.2] |
| 35 |
2) IBM JDK 1.4.2.13_p9 [ibm-jdk-bin-1.4] |
| 36 |
3) IBM JDK 1.5.0.12_p5 [ibm-jdk-bin-1.5] |
| 37 |
4) IBM JDK 1.6.0.9_p2 [ibm-jdk-bin-1.6] |
| 38 |
5) IBM JDK 1.7.0.5 [ibm-jdk-bin-1.7] |
| 39 |
6) IcedTea JDK 6.1.13.9 [icedtea-bin-6] |
| 40 |
7) IcedTea JDK 7.2.6.11 [icedtea-bin-7] |
| 41 |
8) IcedTea JDK 3.8.0 [icedtea-bin-8] |
| 42 |
9) JamVM JDK 2.0.0 [jamvm] |
| 43 |
10) Oracle JDK 1.7.0.80 [oracle-jdk-bin-1.7] |
| 44 |
11) Oracle JDK 1.8.0.172 [oracle-jdk-bin-1.8] |
| 45 |
*) Oracle JDK 10.0.1 [oracle-jdk-bin-10] |
| 46 |
13) Oracle JDK 9.0.4 [oracle-jdk-bin-9] |
| 47 |
14) Sun JDK 1.5.0.22 [sun-jdk-1.5] |
| 48 |
15) Sun JDK 1.6.0.45 [sun-jdk-1.6] |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Therefore I am not interested in replacing java-config with something else nor can I live with with the |
| 51 |
supported JDKs from the overlay, especially since it tries to replace dev-java/* from the standard Gentoo |
| 52 |
tree. |
| 53 |

Cheers, |
| 55 |
