I think its probably worth mentioning that there are likely problems Gentoo faces around Java that are of a legal manner, not merely technical. Like for instance, the fact you can't install the official Orcale/Sun JDK/JRE automatically is due to the fact: - They prohibit replication/mirroring - Their website requires a license agreement acceptance to download And the latter of these is /plausible/ to automate via curl and some "Set cookies" magic ( apparently arch do this ), but falls into a legal grey area. If this is a problem we have simply downloading and installing, I'd imagine there are other problems we face having it on ready-to-go media.
