I'm new in Gentoo and new in Java. I have already emerged Blackdown JDK but I'd like to emerge Sun JDK too. And here the problem begins. I'm not interested in JDK 1.5 (it's considered unstable as far as I know). I believe that 1.4 will be enough for a novice. On my portage this package is masked. Is it risky to emerge it? If it is not why it is masked? Thank in advance Tomasz Buchert -- gentoo-java@gentoo.org mailing list
