!!! ERROR: The active vm could not be found
Now using sun-jre-bin-1.5 as your generation-2 system JVM
 *  sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.08 set as the default system-vm.
 * JREs and 1.5+ JDKs are not supported for use with generation-1.
 * This is because generation-1 is only for use for building packages.
 * Only generation-2 should be used by end-users,
 * where all JREs and JDKs will be available
 * System nsplugin is already set, not changing it.
 * You can change nsplugin with eselect java-nsplugin.

Better English here please. Being in the army, can't change this myself atm.

Would you like something like:

!!! ERROR: Active JVM not found!
* Using sun-jre-bin-1.5 for generation-2 system JVM
* Note that generation-1 settings don't support 1.5+ JRE and JDK:
* they are only meant for building packages.
* End users should use generation-2 settings.
*
* System nsplugin is already set.
* Remember that you can change it using `eselect java-nsplugin`.
