I suggest that you look at the java upgrade guide and also at http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/GCJ_as_a_JDK Basically as a summary. the new java system that is in the process of being rolled out (plan is to only have it in ~arch for 1 more week). This system will allow a user (such as yourself) to choose the jdk they would like to build their java packages. This includes selecting GCJ as you jdk. So hopefully and eventually once GCJ becomes stable enough the whole process of compiling java to machine code will be in the stable tree. Therefore. a use flag isn't needed :) in fact the java team is in the process of removing the jikes use flag for this very reason Alistair -- gentoo-java@gentoo.org mailing list
