Description Petteri Räty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-04 18:28:20 UTC
java@gentoo.org recently got a mail:

To whom it may concern:

I recently rebuilt my system toolchain after the Gnome 2.26 update
caused me some headaches.  After the compilations completed I looked at
the logs to see if there were any issues.  I found one.  According to
your guide located online within the Gentoo documentation, I set my
system to compile Java code using ecj-3.1 then jikes then javac. 
However, my system couldn't find ecj-3.1 because it doesn't exist on my
system let alone in portage.  This is because it has been updated a
bit.  The latest stable release is ecj-3.4, at least for my arch -
amd64.  My question is: do I set my system to compile using ecj-3.4
within /etc/java-config-2/build/compiliers.conf or is there some other
way that is preferred?  What ever the answer is, you should consider
updating your guide. 

Thank you for your time and help.

Let's replace 3.1 with X.Y in the guide for example.

Thanks for reporting; fixed in CVS. Stripped out version numbering for ECJ.
