i was recently confused as hell by java-configs' behavior:

lv@ayanami lv $ java-config -s sun-jdk-1.5.0_beta2
Config options added to /home/lv/.gentoo directory
lv@ayanami lv $ . /etc/profile
lv@ayanami lv $ java-config -L
[blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1] "Blackdown JDK 1.4.2_rc1" (/etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1) *
[sun-jdk-1.5.0_beta2] "Sun JDK 1.5.0_beta2" (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.5.0_beta2)


apparently i need to know ~/.gentoo/java* exists and that it needs to be sourced. icky.

Added better info about this. Should probably consider making it part of the 
skel shell files, but that's a different problem.

Latest releases of java-config tell you to source these files in your shell profile.
