You can take the code from: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/browser/java-experimental/dev-java/openjdk/openjdk-1.7.0.0_alpha12.ebuild DEPEND=">=virtual/jdk-1.4 sys-devel/make" betelgeuse@pena /usr/portage $ grep sys-devel/make -r profiles/base/ profiles/base/packages:*sys-devel/make Also should we think about integrating this in the same way as ecj can be used as a compiler? Take a look at /usr/share/java-config-2/compiler/ecj-3.1
Created attachment 118646 [details] openjdk-javac-7.0_beta11.ebuild New ebuild. Can use as ecj style compiler. Maybe "openjdk" should be a meta-ebuild that depends on the compiler, jre, libs, etc. so each could have individual ebuilds. It seems inefficient to have two ebuilds installing the same compiler.

Hi All! Why this stagnation? openjdk-7.0_beta79 is out.. does this package need a new maintainer? openjdk-6 is missing on gentoo, too. It would be really nice oto have an actual open-source java implementation in the tree. best regards bjoern

In order to build an OpenJDK binary from source code, you must first download and install one or more of the following files from which the build process will copy over "binary plugs" for these encumbered components. If I get this right, you first have to install the IcedTea Classes to be able to build the compiler and have everything open source?
There is dev-java/icedrea6-bin-1.8.1 That's "OpenJDK Client VM 16.0-b13"
With icedtea 7 in tree there is an open source javac 7 based on openjdk. If the need for separate jdk tools should arise it might be worth looking into packaging icepick instead. Closing.
