Now that 1.6 has been masked, maybe 1.7.2 will acceptable. I have a somewhat hacky ebuild, attaching it
Created attachment 626976 [details] icedtea web ebuild Only builds against openjdk-8
I have an 1.8.3 ebuild too but that one seems a bit buggy, there is some background.jpg not loading at start up.
Created attachment 626978 [details] somewhat buggy 1.8.3 ebuild
please upload a PR on github and label it "do not merge". You can discuss the ebuild and get help for repair on the IRC channels #gentoo-dev-help and #gentoo-java

Created attachment 652056 [details] icedtea-web-1.8.4 ebuild new ebuild
(In reply to Andrea Postiglione from comment #11) > Created attachment 652056 [details] > icedtea-web-1.8.4 ebuild > > new ebuild This will build against current java VM and fail if VM is 11 Migth also install under wrong path

1.8.4 does not build if java-11 is default VM. I have this(stolen from some other java ebuild): pkg_setup() { JAVA_PKG_WANT_BUILD_VM="openjdk-${SLOT} openjdk-bin-${SLOT}" JAVA_PKG_WANT_SOURCE="${SLOT}" JAVA_PKG_WANT_TARGET="${SLOT}" # The nastiness below is necessary while the gentoo-vm USE flag is # masked. First we call java-pkg-2_pkg_setup if it looks like the # flag was unmasked against one of the possible build VMs. If not, # we try finding one of them in their expected locations. This would # have been slightly less messy if openjdk-bin had been installed to # /opt/${PN}-${SLOT} or if there was a mechanism to install a VM env # file but disable it so that it would not normally be selectable. local vm for vm in ${JAVA_PKG_WANT_BUILD_VM}; do if [[ -d ${EPREFIX}/usr/lib/jvm/${vm} ]]; then java-pkg-2_pkg_setup return fi done if has_version --host-root dev-java/openjdk:${SLOT}; then export JAVA_HOME=${EPREFIX}/usr/$(get_libdir)/openjdk-${SLOT} export JDK_HOME="${JAVA_HOME}" export ANT_RESPECT_JAVA_HOME=ture else if [[ ${MERGE_TYPE} != "binary" ]]; then JDK_HOME=$(best_version --host-root dev-java/openjdk-bin:${SLOT}) [[ -n ${JDK_HOME} ]] || die "Build VM not found!" JDK_HOME=${JDK_HOME#*/} JDK_HOME=${EPREFIX}/opt/${JDK_HOME%-r*} export JDK_HOME export JAVA_HOME="${JDK_HOME}" export ANT_RESPECT_JAVA_HOME=ture fi fi } and also changed SLOT to 8
