For a long time the Java team required a 1.4 JDK to be
installed in order for old java ebuilds to work. All these
ebuilds are now gone from the main tree so the requirement
to have a 1.4 JDK installed has been lifted.

In order to remove things left over by the generation 1
setup please run java-check-environment and follow the
instructions.

If you want to remove 1.4 JDKs, you should use emerge --depclean.
Depending on what you have installed you might not need a
1.4 JDK any more. To see if you still need a 1.4 JDK use:

emerge -av --depclean virtual/jdk:1.4

If don't need virtual/jdk:1.4 any more then you can remove the
individual JDKs. First get the list of installed JDKs with
eselect and then remove with depclean, for example:

eselect java-vm list
emerge -av --depclean sun-jdk:1.4
