Description:   Opened: 2008-09-10 14:04 0000 
The description for this package states that it is '32bit version Sun's J2SE
Development Kit' which is quite misleading. Betelgeuse said in IRC that it
should be pretty easy to just ship the JDK instead of the JRE but WITHOUT
shipping the usual entry into /etc which lets the build system know that a JDK
is available.

This lets us run Google Web Toolkit (which ships 32-bit libs, unavoidable
presently) natively without all kinds of java-config musical chairs. Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

there are no headers for jni, so this package really looks like jre rather then
jdk.

No tools.jar either, I agree that this is a JRE. I am requesting that we
package the JDK instead. I don't want this new emul- package to be a "real" JDK
in the Gentoo way though, as having it as an available system vm could cause a
lot of pain..

Thanks!

I fixed the descriptions in CVS. I'm closing the bug as WONTFIX but feel free
to reopen it if you manage to make a emul-linux package for a full JDK.

Serkan: I think WONTFIX is nor appropriate, ebuild requests should stay open
just have enhancement severity. So reopening.

And I think we want to limit the usage as a build VM (when emerging java
stuff), not as system VM (unless you meant the same and just used wrong word,
common mistake :) Heck even the current emul JRE packages can be selected as
system VM currently, and there have been no confused bug reports about it yet.
