I am following the threads in the forum about using the sun jdk 1.4. For some reason the sun jdk1.4 is unmasked. I _cannot_ get the sun-jdk 1.4 working at all. Launching Netbeans causes a seg fault. The IBM jdk is working properly. I tried like 3 times to get the j2sdk ebuild working from the unstable tree, but that one exits while compile the optimized target of the makefile with an exit code of 139. Please mask sun-jdk-1.4 Furthermore the java-config won't be able to handle the 1.4 version at all as it is.Due to bytecode changes in the 1.4 jdk.E.g. javac -source 1.4 requires target to be 1.4 and accept asserts javac -source 1.3 accepts source code with the word assert in it But this breaks the java-config because when you have compiled 1.4 source pre 1.4 vm's won´t be able to execute the bytecode. This must be the reason there's no jdk 1.1.8 in the portage tree...
Do you have GRSECURITY compiled on your kernel ?
I should say that you have a unique case of inestability. I have been using this JDK for a long time, and never had any problems. (5 Machines). You should check your installation.
