Created attachment 35009 [details] Ebuild that installs (does not fetch) new SUN JDK If one is going to place it in portage overlay it is important that they do this: cp /usr/portage/dev-java/sun-jdk/files/sun-jdk-1.5.0_beta3 /usr/local/portage/dev-java/sun-jdk/files This copies enviroment settings that ebuild uses to overlay folder This is first ebuild I made, so use with caution, but all I did is a some simple name changes, so one using it should just as safe as with portage ebuilds
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/SOURCES/java-sun-ControlPanel-fix.patch I've been pointed out to this patch. Supposely it fixes some problems within Java Control Panel (for me panel works without it). If someone can confirm this I will try to incorporate it into the ebuild. I dont think that fixes for the simlink are nessesery if you use the ebuild with the enviroment settings file which should create everything in the right places.
