ant's ebuild initializes JAVA_HOME from JDK_HOME, which is not defined by the JDK package (I use sun-jdk). This causes ant's merge to fail.
after I unmerge the blackdown jre and jdk, and remerge the sun-jdk, the environment variables are set correctly in /etc/profile.env I suspect blackdown was 'locking' the variables
After installing the jdk, did you set the jdk you wanted to use ? did you made env-update, and logged in again ? i tried to reproduce it on 5 different machines, and i was unable, can you give some more information ? Thanks
I am unable to reproduce. Suggest we close this WORKSFORME unless Sander can feed us some more details and a method to reproduce.
Closing.
