Added the missing 'inherit versionator' to icedtea-bin-6.1.13.3-r3. As for the symlinks, they need to be created from the icedtea package so all variants are able to use the same plugin and webstart installation. If we can't create those symlinks as we do there'd be a dep cycle between icedtea-{,-bin} and icedtea-web. Doesn't look like there is an appropriate QA varaible to supress this warning. @QA: Please get an appropriate QA variable implemented or close this bug as cantfix.

Don't worry, those symlinks will be killed off when icedtea-web-1.5.1-r1 is removed from the tree. I'm afraid we can't do that quite yet though.
Not sure whether this is related, but it seems to be (if not please tell me and I'll open a separate ticket for it): dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.6.4 and dev-java/icedtea-web-1.5.1-r1 together do not produce a working javaws. icedtea-bin uses a wrong symlink (very similar to the one that's also described in the first post): tbart@blackknight ~ $ javaws /usr/lib/jvm//icedtea-bin-7/bin/javaws: line 98: /usr/lib64/icedtea7/jre/bin/java: No such file or directory tbart@blackknight ~ $ eselect java-nsplugin list Available 32-bit Java browser plugins Available 64-bit Java browser plugins [1] icedtea-web@icedtea-bin-7 current tbart@blackknight ~ $ eselect java-vm list Available Java Virtual Machines: [1] icedtea-bin-7 system-vm tbart@blackknight ~ $ ll /usr/lib/jvm total 140K 4,0K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Mär 20 13:20 . 136K drwxr-xr-x 164 root root 132K Mär 22 14:57 .. 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Mär 20 12:30 icedtea-bin-7 -> /opt/icedtea-bin-7.2.6.4 tbart@blackknight ~ $ grep JAVA /usr/lib/jvm/icedtea-bin-7/bin/javaws JAVA=/usr/lib64/icedtea7/jre/bin/java I think something like /etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm/jre/bin/java would be a more flexible/correct approach for this variable, but I might be wrong. Adding this however makes it work for me.

It looks like you switched from icedtea to icedtea-bin and icedtea-web is still hardcoded to the former. Remerge icedtea-web and you'll probably find it works. This is fixed in icedtea-web-1.6.1 but you shouldn't attempt to use this on a stable system. The things blocking us from removing icedtea-web-1.5.1 have almost gone now so this should all get flushed through soon.

To the person who just filed a duplicate and anybody else, this will now get fixed as each JDK/JRE gets bumped. No point revbumping for such a harmless issue.
This should no longer be an issue.
