Dylan,
you only need a compiler on a build host, not on a host that runs the
compiled software.
So, aside from the build host, you only need the jdk for packages like
tomcat, and the typical requirements of Java packages would be something
like
RDEPEND="virtual/jre-1.4"
DEPEND="virtual/jdk-1.4"
Mind: This does not touch the question of whether Java packages should
be compiled at all. For the sake of argument I was just assuming they
were.
Regards,
Stephan
