Some new bundled java jars have made this package now quite fat.  I do not believe the bundled stuff is used at all, in fact we may be able to cut out all the java stuff altogether for gentoo.  I have CC'd releng because this affects stage3's, it's making them almost 20MB fatter.

Comment 1 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2016-02-27 16:18:49 UTC 
I don't know enough about what docbook-xsl-stylesheets does to determine what can and should be pruned, but just as a point of reference:

I have removed /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/tools/lib/*.jar and /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/extensions/*.jar and successfully rebuilt all its rdeps on my desktop:

Comment 2 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2016-03-09 17:05:35 UTC 
Bundled jars are always bad news, even when they are supposed to be there. I don't have time right now to check exactly why they need to be present in this case but I think they should just be stripped out.

    app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets: Fix #575818 (Java), #536600 (Ruby)
    
    Delete the unnecessary Java-related stuff and other tools as they
    bloat the stage3 tarballs massively. Fixes bug #575818. A java USE
    flag could be added but it's probably not worth the hassle.
    
    Use the ruby-single eclass as suggested by graaff in bug #536600. I
    was going to do dev-lang/ruby:* as suggested by pacho but ruby-single
    seems like the correct thing to do and I don't want to go against the
    Ruby team.
    
    This also removes a useless find call.
