Bug 271051 – jni support in virtual/jdk should be an USE flag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Mounir Lamouri (volkmar) (RETIRED) 2009-05-24 12:30:11 UTC]

virtual/jdk:1.6 adds icedtea which doesn't provide jni (at least jni.h). So, when a package needs jni.h, and depends on virtual/jdk, jni is not recognized. (it's even worst because icedtea is the defaurt virtual/jdk:1.6 choice)

A possible fix is to add a jni USE flag which will remove icedtea choice when on.

In my research I've also seen bug 172478 which have an issue with jni.h and gcc[gcj].

This is blocking java (jni) support in net-libs/opal-3.6.2.

Both icedtea6-bin and (at least my build) icedtea6 have jni.h, what exact version are you talking about, -bin or not, what flags etc. are you talking about?

There is only icedtea6-bin in the tree. There is no icedtea6 package.
The installed version is icedtea6-bin-1.4.1 (newest) with USE="X alsa".

Well, my installation contains this and I see no way how it could be missing:
/opt/icedtea6-bin-1.4.1/include/jni.h
