It seems that you do not use a compatible jdk. The advised jdk is blackdown-1.4.x and a 1.4 jdk is required. (Sometimes sun's jdks do not work)
I see -- perhaps the ebuild should actually depend on a jdk >= 1.4 then? emerge -DUpv world doesn't bring up any jdks, even though esearch blackdown-jdk shows a new stable version available. At any rate, I'll upgrade and confirm that that was the problem.
