When you file a bug report, please include the following information: GENTOO_VM=sun-jdk-1.5 CLASSPATH="" JAVA_HOME="/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0.16" JAVACFLAGS="-source 1.4 -target 1.4" COMPILER="" and of course, the output of emerge --info
please post the output of java-config -L
java-config -L The following VMs are available for generation-2: *) Sun JDK 1.6.0.10 [sun-jdk-1.6]
(In reply to comment #4) > java-config -L > The following VMs are available for generation-2: > *) Sun JDK 1.6.0.10 [sun-jdk-1.6] > And do you have the java6 use flag on? AS you can see from the failure message if it's off then Portage will automatically pull in an older JDK unless you have done something to bypass this like using package.provided. Also test with emerge --deep -pv hsqldb.
Adding to the USE options in /etc/make.conf a "java6" keyword resolved the problem (hsqldb emerges properly). As an aside, I would note that I did not even know there there was a "java6" USE option (never previously encountered in ~3 years of building gentoo packages). I would add, that I am not Java "literate", and only have it on my machine because there are programs, e.g. jalview, for genomic DNA sequences which appear to require it. Gentoo developers may need to have a mechanism for making semi-literate developers aware of "enhancements" such as "java6" (and/or make the packages explicitly detail when it is missing).
(In reply to comment #6) > Adding to the USE options in /etc/make.conf a "java6" keyword resolved the > problem (hsqldb emerges properly). > You got it wrong. It works just fine without the java6 use flag and it pulls in a JDK earlier than 1.6. Something is different from most systems with your system as it's not pulling in the earlier version. On a stable machine without Java installed seems to work fine: Calculating dependencies... done!

I have the same problem, but adding 'java6' to make.conf doesn't solve it (I've reverted to 'java', which is shown below). I've tried compiling it several times, also after rebooting. I tried unmerging virtual/jdk-1.4.2 , but hsqldb wanted to remerge it; I also have virtual/jdk-1.6.0 . My system is very reliable & I avoid "~testing" for system items.

I use ~arch very selectively for some user apps (eg Eix), but not universally & certainly not for system items. As you know, I'm using Portage 2.1.4.5 , which is shown as stable. Thanks for your very prompt response. I look forward to further light.
Should not the status & resolution be changed ? The OP seems to have solved the problem on his machine, but I haven't on mine & look forward to further info requests or advice.
I've solved my problem, so in case anyone else runs into it, here's how. The error msg referred to 'servlet-api-2.3', which was installed. However, when I tried to remerge it, it called in 'tomcat-servlet-api-4.1.3.6', which was not installed (not that slot). After (re)merging both, I was able to emerge 'hsqldb-1.8.0.10'. This version of 'hsqldb' also requires either 'jdk-1.5.0' or 'USE="java6"': I chose the latter & have made a note in my list of installed pkgs to warn me next time (yes, I know that's not the approved way, but that's how I've been managing my Gentoo pkgs since 2003 ... ). Gentoo is all about learning by experience, so chalk up another (smile).
