Created attachment 41395 [details] fixed ebuild file The reason why jikes doesn't like jmx is because the sources are actually in 'src/jmxri' instead of 'src' and 'src' is used as the base for the classpath. I have added a line which uses sed to fix the build.xml. The result is that jikes now loves jmx as much as javac.
Thanks edded
