Freenet 0.5.2.1 can work with Sun-JDK 1.4.2, but the current ebuild don't recognize that JVM and want another to be installed, in my case IBM-JDK. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Remove all JDK installed 2.Install only dev-java/sun-jdk 1.4.2_03 3.Emerge freenet Actual Results: abel root # emerge -s jdk Searching...

WORKAROUND: ignore dependencies when emerging abel root # emerge -O freenet
The DEPEND is virtual/jre... Please do: $ grep jre /var/cache/edb/virtuals
root # grep jre /var/cache/edb/virtuals virtual/jre dev-java/ibm-jdk dev-java/sun-jdk dev-java/blackdown-jdk
It's not a bug with freenet. Your virtuals are setup to use IBM as the default jre. Remove it from that file if you want to not use IBM.
