Description Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Are the last 2 caveats in the java.xml file still valid? 

"""
Jikes will be used to compile some of the largest packages, if it is available.
With time, we hope to be able to compile all java-dependent packages with Jikes,
so some dependencies on the JDK can be replaced with a dependency on the JRE.

With some versions of Portage, doing an emerge --world update will install the
JDK regardless if whether you have it installed before or not. This is a known
bug addressed in later versions of Portage.
"""

If not, this should be removed.

Reproducible: Always

Patch to java.xml

I don't believe the caveats are valid anymore. The Jikes stuff has been handled
long ago, portage has been updated and manual symlinking isn't required
anymore.

If a docdev can agree?

Looks good to me.
