if you try to emerge dev-java/jdbc3-postgresql-8.1_p404 with USE="jikes", jikes will fail as the latest jdbc driver for postgres are written using the java5 syntax, so jikes will fail (error messages shows generics) i think this driver should be hard masked as the sun-jdk-1.5 is, at least until the gentoo-java team will complete the java5 migration

I believe it autodetects which VM you are using, and will add compile extra classes when you have 1.5 around. In these cases, jikes will not suffice. So, I have revbumped this package to use the new Java system, which allows us to filter which compiler is used. Give it a few hours to propogate to the mirrors. Also, since the autodetection makes the build non-deterministic (as in, you'll get different files if installing with 1.4 or 1.5), I've locked it into using 1.4. This is a bit less than idea, but a new use flag would need to be introduced to support Java 1.5 features. Thanks for reporting.
