Wow, someone actually has a clue about the state of Java :) The Java team then handled the migration from 1.4 to 1.5. If you know anything about Java code that was NOT trivial. A system was developed not only to allow that transition but make it so the same would never need to be repeated in the future. That is even a Java quiz question. Q2. What was the big deal about Java 1.5? Why did it take so long to become unmasked? Q3. Will the new Java system support Java 1.6 when it is released? Java 1.7? Or what about java 1.8 in tree, or 9 coming... https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Java/Developer_Quiz Which NO other area of the tree has a 3rd quiz. Not Perl, PHP, Python, nor Ruby. Since Java is so trivial to package. Why its actively worked on in Gentoo.... Love to see people maintaining ebuilds for these other languages try on Java for size.... Put your big boy pants on. Try to package Hadoop. I am ~3 months into Jenkins from source.... Most go into tree as -bin.... People are funny :) --=20 William L.
