First of all, I have modified some java ebuilds to get netbeans to compile with the jmx-bin ebuild I am working on, so if you think this is a problem I have introduced, feel free to close the bug. When I do 'emerge netbeans' I get: Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-util/netbeans-4.0-r1 to / >>> md5 files ;-) netbeans-3.4.1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) netbeans-4.0-r1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) netbeans-3.5.1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) netbeans-3.6-r1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/antbuild.xml.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/netbeans-KDE.desktop >>> md5 files ;-) files/startscript.sh >>> md5 files ;-) files/netbeans.png >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-netbeans-3.6-r1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-netbeans-4.0-r1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/nbbuild.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/netbeans >>> md5 files ;-) files/netbeans.desktop >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-netbeans-3.4.1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-netbeans-3.5.1 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) netbeans-4_0-src-ide_sources.tar.bz2 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) netbeans-4_0-docs-javadoc.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking netbeans-4_0-src-ide_sources.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/netbeans-4.0-r1/work >>> Unpacking netbeans-4_0-docs-javadoc.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/netbeans-4.0-r1/work/javadoc * Applying antbuild.xml.patch ... [ ok ]Could not find package sun-j2ee-deployment-bin >>> Source unpacked. The netbeans-4.0-r1 ebuild contains: <snip> JSR="sun-j2ee-deployment-bin sun-j2ee-deployment-bin.jar jsr88javax.jar" <snip> src_unpack () { <snip> java-pkg_jar-from ${JSR} <snip> } and the java-pkg_jar-from is causing the warning message. I have sun-j2ee-deployment-bin installed in /usr/share/sun-j2ee-deployment-bin-1.1 , and the netbeans ebuild expects it to be in /usr/share/sun-j2ee-deployment-bin ( no -1.1 at the end ). In the sun-j2ee-deployment-bin-1.1 ebuild there is: <snip> SLOT="1.1" <snip> This slot is IMO un-needed as the 1.1 ebuild is the only one currently in portage and the presence of this slot is causing it to be installed in /usr/share/doc/sun-j2ee-deployment-bin-1.1 and not /usr/share/doc/sun-j2ee-deployment-bin Changing the slot line to SLOT="0" fixes the warning. Changing the netbeans ebuild to JSR="sun-j2ee-deployment-bin-1.1 sun-j2ee-deployment-bin.jar jsr88javax.jar" should have the same effect.

Yeah it seems that sun-j2ee-deployment-bin was slotted at some point and I wasn't notified. It is fixed in experimental: https://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/gentoo-java-experimental/dev-util/netbeans axxo should be moving changes from experimental to the official tree soon
Ok, great !
4.0-r2 is now in the official tree. Please reopen if the problem still exists. Thanks for reporting.
