Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM build cxppc321420-20040626 (JIT enabled: jitc)) 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge eclipse-sdk 
2. 
3. 
 
Actual Results:  
brobken build 

Expected Results:  
eclipse build 

possibly, its a problem which could  be solved with ibm java 1.5, but this is still in an 
beta-stage. 
Info for non-ppc-users : ibm jdk 1.4.2 is the latest, stable avaible jvm/jdk for the ppc 
with linux. there is no sun jdk/jvm for linux on the ppc still existent. 
So, a hint like "use sun java x.x or x " has no relevance. 
Cheers Frank

Are you still experiencing this problem? It is also worth noting that 3.1.1 is now in portage.

[Comment 2 Frank Hollenbach 2005-12-22 12:57:26 UTC]

No, its gone- 
the new version of Java from IBM fixed it, I guess.
