 OOO only depends on =virtual/jre-1.4.1 (at least, the
 openoffice-1.1.3.ebuild on my machine does), which should mean that
 _any_ JRE newer than 1.4.0 should work. Maybe it just _looks_ like it
 requires blackdown-jre because you haven't installed a newer than
 1.4.0 JRE (like, say, dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.4.2.07-r1)?

not long ago, ooo depended on blackdown java, and have a look at your ebuild:

if [ -z $(/usr/bin/java-config -O | grep blackdown-jdk) ]  
[ ${FORCE_JAVA} != yes ]
then

eerror This ebuild has only been tested with the 
blackdown port of
eerror java.  If you use another java implementation, 
it could fail
eerror horribly, so please merge the blackdown-jdk 
and set it as
eerror system VM before proceeding:
eerror
eerror  # emerge blackdown-jdk
eerror  # java-config 
--set-system-vm=blackdown-jdk-VERSION
eerror  # env-update
eerror  # source /etc/profile
eerror
eerror Please adjust VERSION according to the 
version installed in

Simply emerge unmerge package-name, and the package will be gone.

If you want to prevent accidental emerging of this package, add the
line
category-name/package-name
to /etc/portage/package.mask. (create the file if it doesn't exist)

So remove the package(s) and add -java to the USE flag in /etc/make.conf.

No, that's not what make.conf is used for.

 I want to remove balckdown/ibm JDKs.

You can use the 'emerge -i dev-java/blackdown-jdk dev-java/blackdown-jre'
command to make portage think it's installed but not install it (see
injecting under the emerge man page).

and if he wants to use java?

There are enough reasons, for java and against bl/ibm.

And it is very annoying, that for example ooo needs bl-java. Very annoying.

I was assuming he never wanted java support in anything at all.
