There is an ebuild for jboss 4.0.0 tried it for 4.0.1 would it be possible to get this into the unstable branch of portage? http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=48226&action=view Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 49337 [details] jboss-4.0.1.ebuild
a big problem with jboss and the current ebuild is that it makes use of packed jars. we don't want that packages rely up on packed jars, instead we're going to add all dependencies to the portage tree and use them. also see our java policy: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_Java_Policy it would be very good if you could create an ebuild which is conform to our policy. otherwise this is going to take some time.

JBoss 4.0+ also requires >=jdk-1.4, not 1.3.
This ebuild is also suitable for jboss-4.0.2, which compiles and runs perfectly, without changing anything except the version-number.
I've been working on an ebuild for jboss-3.2.7 which doesn't use packed jars (see bug # 63258). There doesn't seem to be many differences between this ebuild, and the ebuild for 3.2.5 in portage. This is a good thing since I used the 3.2.5 as a base for my 3.2.7 ebuild. So, the things to do for this would be to check the dependencies (in ${S}/thirdparty), and update the locations and/or dependencies themselves.
