Description Scott Dossey 2002-11-15 14:35:14 UTC 
If you do an "emerge sun-jdk" and then reinstall later with an "emerge sun-jdk"
without unmerging in between, the /etc/env.d/java environment file for the
sun-jdk gets whacked, causing java-config to not work.

The problem occurs because the file is written /etc/env.d/java before the
previous version is automatically unmerged in an emerge reinstall.

This caused severe headaches for me.

I think this may actually be a problem for several of the VM's.
Sorry if this is a duplicate, I looked for little while.  Also I'm sorry I don't
have more details of my configuration.

I updated java.eclass that was causing this, can you test it and reopen the bug
if if appears again ?
