22:22 <@Betelgeuse> ./java-experimental/eclass/java-virtuals.eclass:JAVA_VIRTUALS_HELPER=/home/betelgeuse/python/combinations.py
22:22 <@Betelgeuse> gnu_andrew: you are using the wrong eclass
22:23 <@Betelgeuse> gnu_andrew: the one in the main tree is java-virtuals-2.eclass
22:23 <@Betelgeuse> gnu_andrew: That's a really old proof of concept thing
22:24 <@Betelgeuse> That approach would not have needed extra provider files.
22:24 <@Betelgeuse> gnu_andrew: But still you don't inherit the java-virtuals* eclasses in normal ebuilds
22:24 <@Betelgeuse> gnu_andrew: Only in the virtual ebuids themselves
22:25 < gnu_andrew> sorry my physic powers must be lacking, where are the docs for this?
22:25 < gnu_andrew> if the code in experimental is dead, please remove it
22:26 <@Betelgeuse> gnu_andrew: You use the virtual ebuilds like normal pkgs
22:27 <@Betelgeuse> gnu_andrew: The only extra thing is using --virtual in case you need specific jars but with current infra that should rarely be the case.
22:30 <@Betelgeuse> Wouldn't hurt to spell this out to the Java packaging guide so I will open a bug to document this.

java-virtuals.eclass was removed with commit e6fef45d3e. Closing.
