We are getting near to having all generation 1 Java ebuilds gone from
the main tree so we made a news item in order to instruct how to remove
left over things if wanted (nothing breaks if you don't).
Last bugs to fix before we commit the new java-config-wrapper and the
news item:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=176781&hide_resolved=1
The news item will go in at the same time with the new
java-config-wrapper that is adjusted to check for deprecated generation
1 files.
Regards,
Petteri

Title: Generation 1 Java Setup Deprecated

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
