Yes, it seems that having it in gentoo would be a good idea. Thanks! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

How does openjdk relate to sun-jdk? Apparently there are some bits in sun-jdk licensed from 3rd parties that are proprietary. Openjdk project is to replace the proprietary pieces to get a fully buildable open source java. However, there's already a project called IcedTea that combines the open parts of Java with GNU classpath to get a useable jdk. I found a package of it for one of my boxes running ubuntu, and it works fine. Maybe we should have an ebuild for it too.. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Sun java from source?
Just curious...I just emerged sun-jdk-1.6.0.03 and I saw that it's still installed directly in binary form, despite the recent news of java going open source. When will we (or better, portage) be able to compile java from sources? What's the status of the transition? How does openjdk relate to sun-jdk? Thanks and sorry for the dumb questions. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
