Bug 69454 – ~/.gentoo/java_env still considered relevant by ant

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Charles Goodwin 2004-10-29 14:02:37 UTC]

This one is real sloppy.  Looks like a long time ago java-config used to set some $VARS in ~/.gentoo/java_env related to Java, but this no longer happens.

So imagine my surprise trying to run ant as a normal user and finding it wouldn't work because it was looking for blackdown-1.3.1 when i only have 1.4.1 installed because java-config no longer updates that file.

Well, actually, the bug is that ant still reference this deprecated file.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find an old system
2. Update Java
3. Run java-config

Actual Results:  
~/.gentoo/java_env still is set to the old Java setup

Expected Results:  
Either it should still update ~/.gentoo/java_env or (I suspect you want) ant
should pay no attention to ~/.gentoo/java_env and the ant script needs modifying.

Just deleting ~/.gentoo/java_env works for me.

java-config still sets it there when you use java-config --set-user-vm

where does it say the file is deprecated?

I'll save you the effort of invalidating this and do it for you.
