Using GNU emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1 (re-emerged fairly recently), the following events occurred: 1: I updated to app-emacs/jde-2.3.5, which required app-emacs/cedet-1.0_pre3 2: I attempted to open a new .java file in emacs. Emacs then told me: JDEE requires a version of CEDET between 1.0beta2 and 1.0 (found 1.0pre3) (as well as leaving me in fundamental mode) I haven't tested the regular emacs build, so it could be a change in some comparison function. If not, it seems the jde ebuild depends on the wrong version of CEDET. It also may or may not be related that I had to migrate away from speedbar+eieio+semantic to accomodate cedet. The issue happens on at least two separate machines, including emerge --info from only one below. On one machine all emacs related packages aside from emacs-cvs itself are x86 versions.

(In reply to comment #0) i had this problem also. for some reason, the jde is not realizing that CEDET 1.0pre3 _is_ between 1.0beta2 and 1.0. the workaround is to use command M-x customize-variable jde-check-version-flag and set it to nil.
*** Bug 125763 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
app-emacs/jde-2.3.5-r1 and app-emacs/jde-2.3.5.1 (both ~x86) fix this problem.
Arch testers for x86, amd64 and ppc: Please stablize the ebuild for app-emacs/jde-2.3.5.1. I believe the dependencies (except for Bug #128103 which is being arch tester requested simultaneously) are already stable and no oustanding bugs exist.
ppc stable
x86 done
everybody's happy now
