At the bottom of the Gentoo Java Guide there is a statement that "With some versions of Portage, doing an emerge --world update will install the JDK regardless if whether you have it installed before or not." I suppose this is still true, didn't old versions use 'emerge --world update'? But that's not the right syntax now, and probably should be changed.

Created attachment 14590 [details, diff] java.xml.patch fixing emerge syntax I fixed this using the syntax "emerge --update world". I thought that for documentation that would be better than "emerge -u world". Any comments? -Wesley
