Bug 139085 – java-config-2 system does not allow java 1.5 as build vm

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Henning Rogge 2006-07-03 14:01:20 UTC]

I have a package that MUST be compiled with java 1.5 or later (eclipse 3.2 to be exact). Before the update to the new java-config system I just changed my system VM to 1.5, compiled eclipse and switched back.

Now the system seems to be always using java 1.4 for portage, even if a 1.5 VM is set to sun-jdk-1.5.0.07.

I'm using an ebuild from this bugtracker for eclipse:

I wouldn't suggest using the ebuilds from that bug. I have ebuilds in our 'migration-packages' overlay that I plan on putting in the tree tomorrow that support the new Java system.

[Comment 2 Henning Rogge 2006-07-03 23:37:38 UTC]

Sounds good... I will try it as soon as the new package is in the tree.

[Comment 3 Josh Nichols (RETIRED) 2006-07-04 08:07:51 UTC]

Marking wontfix, because it is for ebuilds in bugzilla. Will see to adding the updated package as soon as reasonably possible.

[Comment 4 Henning Rogge 2006-07-05 07:11:42 UTC]

Okay... I really hope we will get eclipse Milestone/RC ebuilds in the future for Portage. Eclipse is a great tool and most milestones except the first few ones were a huge improvement over the latest stable version.

[Comment 5 Josh Nichols (RETIRED) 2006-07-05 07:32:08 UTC]

3.2_rc7 is in portage, package.mask'd for testing.
