When I go to the URL specified in the ebuild for downloading jta and select "Java Transaction API Specification 1.0.1B Class Files 1.0.1B", I'm redirected to a page saying that the Sun Download Center has been decommissioned (see URL). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/tech/jta-138684.html 2.

I have download it from http://java.sun.com/products/jta/
I did not experience this problem following the link provided in the ebuild.
Yes, Oracle apparently fixed it.
