I have dev-java/gcj-jdk (and no other JDK) installed, and I was ready to install dev-java/icedtea6-1.4, but it depends on icedtea6 (which isn't installed). IcedTea6 should be able to build using gcj-jdk (and thus wouldn't need icedtea6 as a dependency). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install dev-java/gcj-jdk (from java-overlay) 2. emerge dev-java/icedtea6-1.4 (from java-overlay) Actual Results: Circular dependencies. icedtea6 depends on icedtea6. Expected Results: IcedTea6 should have been able to compile using gcj-jdk. I installed dev-java/icedtea6-bin and used that to install dev-java/icedtea-1.4
What if you merge gnu-classpath-jdk manually?
(In reply to comment #1) > What if you merge gnu-classpath-jdk manually? That's not the problem. The problem is that icedtea6-1.4 wants another version of icedtea6 to be installed (regardless of whether I have gcj-jdk installed or not).
The dependency in icedtea6-1.4 looks like this: || ( >=virtual/gnu-classpath-jdk-1.5 dev-java/icedtea6 dev-java/icedtea6-bin ) Which means that if you have gnu-classpath-jdk installed, it should not want icedtea6(-bin)

I think gcj-jdk should be added too; so that you need either gnu-classpath-jdk, gcj-jdk, icedtea6 OR icedtea6-bin.
