Hi gang.

I have started the long-overdue process of updating our handling of
Java-based applications. The new scheme will be documented in a few days
when all settles down.

In the meantime, the following packages have been masked out:

net-www/cocoon-1.8
net-www/cocoon-1.8.2
net-www/tomcat-3.2.2
net-www/tomcat-3.2.1
net-www/tomcat-4.0.1
net-www/jakarta-3.1-r2
media-libs/pdflib-4.0.1
dev-java/ant-1.3
dev-java/ant-1.4
dev-java/fesi-1
dev-java/jaxp-1.1
dev-java/jaxp-1.0.1
dev-java/jndi-1.2.1-r1
dev-java/jsse-1.0.2
dev-java/mysql-jdbc-1.2.3-r1
dev-lang/swig/swig-1.3_alpha5-r2

The dev-lang/jdk packages are now gone. Dead. Never to return.

The new way of specifying reliance on java is to use virtual/jdk or
virtual/jre, since there exists more than one good implementation of the
jre and the jdk, this made sense. 


Kind regards,

Karl T
