I have blackdown-jre on my system set as System VM and it's built with nsplugin use flag.java-check-environment says the environment is sane. Yet when I try to emerge mozilla-firefox with java use flag enabled it tries to emerge sun-jre. I assume this might have something to do with the new handling of java, I'm not sure though. Below are some details : java-config -L : *) Blackdown JRE 1.4.2.03 [blackdown-jre-1.4.2] (/usr/share/java-config-2/vm/blackdown-jre-1.4.2) emerge -av mozilla-firefox : ... [ebuild N F ] dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.07 USE="X alsa -nsplugin" 16,455 kB [ebuild N ] virtual/jre-1.5.0 0 kB [ebuild N ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4 USE="java -debug -gnome -ipv6 -mozdevelop -xinerama -xprint"
- not a Gentoo bugzilla product bug - certainly not a blocker
If you don't want Java 1.5, package.mask it. Pretty normal behaviour w/ slots, not a bug.
