And for this reason shouldn't the gentoo developers put Sun's java2
sdk/jdk 1.4.1 in the portage system? It's only a bug fix/improvements
release, not a "new features" release, so it should solve many bugs and
improve quality of the related java packages.
And for me, I don't understand why are we fixing bugs in a release
that is outdated, when making a portage ebuild for the new version could
have the above mentioned benefits and also provide the users with the
latest version, (which is one of the branded features of gentoo, "fully
fledged state of the art software :-p" )
