I'm using the axxo-overlay revision 1467. Today I 'emerge --sync'ed and did 'emerge -pvuD world' as usual. It showed that the perl and db updates are available, among others. I have both sun-jdk-1.4.10-r1 and sun-jdk-1.5.0.05-r1 installed (in that order), but I've used java-config -S to set the default JVM to the 1.4 one. While watching the configure part for the 'db', I've spotted something intriguing: # emerge -avuD1 perl These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild U ] sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2-r1 [4.2.52_p2] -bootstrap -doc +java* -nocxx -tcltk 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.6-r8 [5.8.6-r7] +berkdb -build -debug -doc +gdbm +ithreads -minimal -perlsuid 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB ... checking if javac works... yes checking for jar... jar checking for java... java checking for uudecode... no configure: WARNING: I have to compile Test.class from scratch checking if java works... yes checking for javac... /opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0.05/bin/javac checking absolute path of javac... /opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0.05/bin/javac checking java version... 1.5.0_05 I double checked that the sun-jdk-1.4 is the default JVM. But sys-libs/db always tries to use the 1.5.0.05 JVM. I uninstalled both sun-jdk's and installed them in the reverse order (1.5 first, then 1.4) but it didn't help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. checkout the current axxo-overlay 2. add its directory to the PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf 3. sync the portage tree 4. make sure that USE="java" is set 5. emerge sun-jdk-1.4.10-r1 and sun-jdk-1.5.0.05-r1 (unmask if necessary) 6. try to update (or remerge) sys-libs/db Actual Results: sys-libs/db always tries to use the 1.5.0.05 JVM, as presented in an excerpt of the output of the configure part above.

I unmerged sun-jdk-1.5.0.05-r1 and tried to upgrade sys-libs/db.

Now this becomes serious.
We only support support ebuilds that are actually in portage. Using java/java-config ebuilds from overlays, you are on your own.
(In reply to comment #2) > We only support support ebuilds that are actually in portage. Using > java/java-config ebuilds from overlays, you are on your own. Yes I know. I'm just trying proactively to help with testing/using the axxo-overlay, which contain the (slowly) upcoming changes to the Java handling in Gentoo. Please assign this bug to axxo or at least notify him of this issue. /me reopening the bug in hope that the above is okay
The switching is correct behavior read 'prefered vm' section of http://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/axxo-overlay/README/docs/java-user.html# doc_chap3 The other error is because you are merging an ebuild not in the overlay the overlay is always a bit behind the tree, can't update it every day, or week for that mather, so you have to be carefull what you merge.
Fully understood. Thank you very much for the explanation.
