[gentoo-user] Java VM and SDK: icedtea X oracle's

[Francisco Ares]

Hi.

A few months ago I got rid of oracle's java jre and jdk in favor of icedtea.

Now, when issuing an "emerge -tpvuDN world", oracle's jre is about to be
installed again on this system:

"

[nomerge       ] dev-java/jdom-1.0-r4:1.0  USE="-doc -examples -source"
[nomerge       ]  dev-java/jdom-jaxen-1.0-r1:1.0
[nomerge       ]   dev-java/jaxen-1.1.1:1.1  USE="-doc -examples -source

[nomerge       ]       dev-java/xml-commons-resolver-1.2  USE="-doc

[ebuild  NS    ]         virtual/jdk-1.7.0:1.7 [1.6.0-r2:1.6] 0 KiB
[ebuild  N F   ]          dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.80:1.7  USE="X alsa
fontconfig nsplugin (-aqua) -derby -doc -examples -jce -pax_kernel
(-selinux) -source" 149.933 KiB
...
"

Looking for packages that need jdom as a dependency, and after a chain of
"equery d" commands, icedtea-bin itself, on its own dependency chain, needs
jdom, which, in turn, needs oracle-jdk-bin.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks!
