We won't be keywording new java stuff stable for the time being, there are
reasons behind this:
1- Blackdown never did 1.4.2 for sparc, and as it currently stands 1.4.1 has
security bugs, and there's no clear indication when or if 1.5 will be out for us.
2- Said JVM is blocking us from upgrading the toolchain (glibc specially) since
it doesn't work.
3- Said JVM is flaky under certain scenarios (SMP, sandbox).
4- (not really sparc-specific) The ant-* versions you specify are not even
stable on the maintainer arch.
We'll try to maintain java working as long as we can on the current profiles
(2005.0/1) but we won't be supporting it looking forward unless we get a new and
proper jvm from someone.
