I believe this is something that quite a bit of [careless] users would do. I expected problems, but in the end I've found none (!) And I really like the new java-config working in the "old" fashion too :) It hides the java-config-1 / java-config-2 complexity from the less knowledgeable users. Great job, guys! Here's the overview of steps taken: # emerge -pvuD sun-jdk These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [blocks B ] # which java /usr/bin/java # which javac /usr/bin/javac # java-config -L *) Sun JDK 1.5.0.07 [sun-jdk-1.5] (/usr/share/java-config-2/vm/sun-jdk-1.5) So, the dumbest case seems to be covered. I hope this helps :) Now I'm looking into setting a sun-jdk-1.4.2 on amd64 as the system and/or build VM. I *know* it's not meant to be used as a Java plugin for 64-bit firefox, but it could be used for 32-bit firefox-bin. And with multilib profile in place and emul-* libraries it should work without problems. I will send an update on this case soon.
