Bug 146870 – jython java launcher from dev-java/java-config-2 does not honor $CLASSPATH

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joel 2006-09-08 12:56:19 UTC]

As of jython-2.1-r7 (currently in the unstable branch), jython uses a Gentoo java launcher supplied by dev-java/java-config-2.  This launcher ignores the $CLASSPATH entries.

I suspect this problem may be shared by all packages that use dev-java/java-config-2, though jython is the only thing I use with $CLASSPATH set.

The old and stupid launcher supplied with jython and used in <jython-2.1-r6 works fine.

I'm sorry, I am unable to find the file to which this patch corresponds.  So far as I can tell, it is not part of java-config-2.0.27-r1, which is the latest in portage.
