Note that the binpkg for jaxme was created from older version of the ebuild than currently in tree. The error suggests that pkg_setup was executed in the ebuild extracted from the binpkg, because the jdk deps are in the order of || ( 1.4 1.5 ) but 5 days ago I changed them to || ( 1.5 1.4 ) (portage used to pick the first, not highest, dunno if it's still the case, anyway). So the DEPEND changed between the binpkg was created and now, which might be the cause. But the jdk-1.5 dep was always there.
As zmedico pointed out on IRC, this is due to jdk dep being only in DEPEND and not RDEPEND, thus not pulled for binpkg. Yet, pkg_setup() is executed for binpkgs, and tries to perform the vm switching. So it's something like bug 154495. Apparently there's an undocumented EMERGE_FROM variable that's set to "binary" which we could use as at least some workaround to not switch vm's. Or think of something better.
From bug 154495: ------- Comment #26 From Zac Medico 2008-02-16 21:03:54 0000 [reply] ------- Now that bug 56408 is fixed in the latest stable portage (2.1.4.4), it's possible for ebuilds set their own environment variables to deduce that the pkg_setup() function has been run previously. That should allow the pkg_setup() behavior to be altered so that it works correctly with binary packages. --- So, we can skip VM switching for binpkgs by some variable (such as JAVA_PKG_SETUP_DONE etc). Maybe clean all the restored variables so they don't refer to a nonexisting VM? And make sure none of the packages need a proper VM for doing stuff in preinst/postinst. And if we find some that need (I doubt), then they should declare some variable that will override JAVA_PKG_SETUP_DONE and let the vm switching be performed as usual. Such packages would also need to keep jdk in RDEPEND.

Wonderful background informations and theories but when will something happen for binary package setups? So my hsqldb and commons-dbcp will be installed. What shall we do to get it work? (Won't create own ebuild and change =virtual/jdk-1.5* to >=virtual/jdk-1.5*) Thanks for practical help in these issues, see last duplicate bug adds.

This works! Thank you very much! "emerge virtual/jdk:1.5" And I played unsuccessful around with "=virtual/jdk-1.5" and and and... Fixes Bug 230627 and Bug 230625 for me.
