Erm, java folks - I assume this is your overlay job... Removing eclasses sucks.
You must have been using axxo-overlay at some point or another. If you stopped using it, then you'd no longer have the eclasses that were part of it.
Josh, you are right. Unfortunately I don't know how to find out from where the package comes so I didn't notice this. So what's the solution? Get axxo-overlay back, uninstall swig and remove axxo-overlay?

Get axxo-overlay > back, uninstall swig and remove axxo-overlay? Just `touch /usr/portage/eclass/java-pkg-opt.eclass` to create a bogus one, and delete after unmerge. Dupe of Bug 46223.
