There seems to be a new sun-jre-bin with 64 bit support (6 update 12) More informations here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjkyOQ Is it possible to get this in portage? Maybe split now the sun-jre-bin for 32 and 64 bit... Reproducible: Always
It's available in java-experimental overlay @ http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/browser/java-experimental/dev-java/sun-jdk
We don't add beta/early access binaries from Sun to the main tree.
If you are after 64 bit browser plugin, I recommend icedtea6-bin from the java-overlay.
Oh, sorry, I skip the "early access"...
