I had previously compiled dev-java/junit with java 5.0. To get support for java 1.4 I wanted to recompiled junit with 1.4.2 jdk. Unfortunately it fails because the junit build seems to put the previous junit jar into it's classpath and miserably fails. To fix this I had to emerge -C junit before re-emerging the junit with 1.4 jdk. versiontag: [copy] Copying 1 file to /var/tmp/portage/junit-3.8.1-r1/work/junit3.8.1/junit/runner [move] Moving 1 file to /var/tmp/portage/junit-3.8.1-r1/work/junit3.8.1/junit/runner build: BUILD FAILED java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: (junit/framework/TestListener) bad major version at offset=6

Aside from that, marking invalid, because this is the fun type of problem you'll run into when dealing with a system that runs, or used to run, a 1.5 JDK for a system VM.
