Re: [gentoo-user] can't configure java

[Devon Miller]

Setting the system JVM is different from setting the user JVM. The system
JVM defines what emerge will use to compile *.java source files. As such,
the system vm must be a JDK, not a JRE.

You really don't want to set 1.5 as your system JVM unless you're trying to
fix ebuilds to work with 1.5. Jave 5 introduces new keywords (enum) and
constructs (foreach loop, generics) that are not source compatible with
previous releases and many packages will not compile with 1.5.

If you still really want to run 1.5 as the system JVM (or if you just want
1.5 for use by regular users), then this will tell you all you need to
install the 1.5 JDK.
