Description Miles Barr 2002-11-05 04:52:46 UTC

JBoss has a runtime dependency like this:

RDEPEND=">=virtual/jdk-1.3"

I've installed sun-jdk version 1.4.1 but when I emerge jboss it tries to install
the IBM jdk version 1.3.1.

I edited the /var/cache/edb/virtuals file so the sun-jdk came before ibm-jdk in
the virtual/jdk entry and the problem went away.

Shouldn't emerge check all entries in the virtual list to see if one of them
meets the criteria rather than just checking the first one?

Miles,

Which JDKs (including versions) other than sun-jdk-1.4.1 
did you have installed when you tried to emerge jboss and
it wanted to install ibm-jdk-1.3.1?
