While installing portage master I was asked to download j2sdk-1.4_0_01-linux-i586.bin. At the sun website I only found version j2sdk-1.4_0_02-linux-i586.bin. I placed the file in the portage distfiles and changed the file name so that it would use the file. this may have caused the problem it may not have. What follows is the output when I tried to install portagemaster. machine root # emerge portagemaster Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge app-admin/portagemaster-0.1.8 to / >>> md5 ;-) portagemaster-0.1.8.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking portagemaster-0.1.8.tar.bz2 >>> Source unpacked.

If someone could please see if the use of the 1.4_0_02 instad of 1.4_0_01 file caused the problem and if it did I would like to know where to find the older file.
Ok, I've downloaded j2sdk-1.4_0_02-linux-i586.bin and installed it, in order to reproduce the problem you have experienced ... and i have failed. portageMaster compiles nicely. My only suggestion would be that u should check environment variables ("java-config --jdk-home" should do), because that kind of errors (non-existing methods, fields) happen when u try to compile it against older JDK version.

works for me too
