[gentoo-java] eclipse on ppc

[David Gurvich <david.gurvich@verizon.net>]

I have used the ebuild from the java-experimental overlay,
eclipse-sdk-3.2_rc2.  Aside from having to modify the java5home variable
manually it compiled cleanly.

My problem concerns ibm-jdk-bin.  On ppc systems the only real option is
ibm-jdk-bin.  If I start eclipse with either 1.4.2 or 1.5.0 as the system jvm
eclipse will crash soon after attempting to access the menus.  If I use the
following script
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/kde/3.5/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/usr/bin/java-config -s 1
/usr/bin/eclipse-3.2 -vmargs -Xmx256M
/usr/bin/java-config -s 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eclipse opens and runs with no problems.
The only part which makes a difference is the java-config -s 1, which sets
 the system jvm to gcj-4.1.0.  Do you know what the problem or solution may
 be?
