Description Andreas Fink 2011-01-08 08:07:33 UTC 
>=app-emulation-virtualbox-4 -java pulls java-config as dependency (and with it a whole jdk). This comes from inherit java-pkg-2, which adds java-config to DEPENDS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. No java installed yet
2. USE=-java emerge -a1 virtualbox

Actual Results:  
virtual/jdk is pushed as a dependency

Expected Results:  
drop the java dependency if -java is used.

As far as I understand it, packages using an optional dependency on java can use 'inherit java-pkg-opt-2' instead of "inherit java-pkg-2'.

In my local repository I changed java-pkg-2 to java-pkg-opt-2 and it built fine and runs correctly. However I did not try to build with java support enabled...
