Description Giampaolo Tomassoni 2009-09-06 13:46:49 UTC

When emerging dev-java/jdbc-mysql, the jdk-1.5 packages is required even when a jdk-1.6 package is already installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -vp dev-java/jdbc-mysql

Please note that dev-java/jdbc-postgresql had a similar problem, which was worked out through the java5 and java6 USE flags.

The dev-java/jdbc-mysql package could benefit from using the same USE flags in deciding the jdk to use.

Confirm. I can't install netbeans IDE due dependencies. I have java 1.6, but netbeans required  >=dev-java/jdbc-mysql-5.1:0 >=dev-java/jdbc-postgresql-8.3_p603:0, this packages require java 1.5

The build system as it is really requires both 1.5 and 1.6, so it cannot be as easily solved by use flag as postgresql. Please consider filing bug with upstream.

5.1.11 was added with build.xml patch to emerge with jdk-1.6 only (needs gnu-classpath for a 1.5 bootclasspath nevertheless)
