[gentoo-java] Java and AMD64

Hello,

I am trying to get new Java ebuilds work on amd64 platform with amd64
keyword. Unfortunatelly there's no generation 1 Java ebuild that I could
use. Is it possible to make new Java ebuilds work on amd64? And if so,
how should I do it?

java-config-1 -L shows nothing.

# emerge -tva =sun-jdk-1.4*

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=sun-jdk-1.4*" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:

- dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.12 (masked by: missing keyword)

Try blackdown-jdk. It is available for AMD64.

Thank you for fast response. I'll try that.

The blackdown 1.4.2 JDK has most of the Sun Java 5 amd64 changes, 
however I would strongly recommend Miroslav that you don't use 1.4.2 for 
amd64 bit. Apart from being over 4 years old there are some linux issues 
that we could only fix in 5.0.

That may be true, but a 1.4 JDK is still necessary for building packages
that don't like 1.5, and Blackdown is the option you have on AMD64. For
end-users though, certainly, go with a 1.5 JDK.

What about the IBM JDK?  Its stable amd64 version (SR3) is no longer available 
from the "Older Downloads" section.  It shows up initially, but when you 
actually sign in and get to the page where you select your download with a 
radio button, SR3 is no longer present.  However its ~amd64 version (SR4) is, 
and is still generation 1.  Is that just as feasible?

I use it only as generation 1 jvm because I need one and I cannot use
sun jdk. I am installing tomcat on the amd64 and I will use sun-jdk-1.5
as jvm for the tomcat.
