Perhaps it should. On the other hand you don't have to, it will be set
automatically during the vm update process (which is described).
java-config-2 -s is only mentioned because it differers from the plain
portage case.

Because system vm has nothing to do with emerge. For that you set the
build jdk. Note that system vm can be a jre or a jdk, while compilation
jdk has to be a jdk. This procedure differs from a plain portage
installation, and should perhaps be mentioned somewhere.

The the default jdk.conf will not make 1.4 sources build with a 1.5 jdk,
so you do not *have* to modify jdk.conf. However, you *must not* changee
jdk.conf to an invalid state, which is currently possible (and you must
have done). Perhaps there should be a warning in the sample file?
(something like "# Warning: Do NOT set a 1.5 jdk for use with anything
but 1.5 sources!")
If Junit doesn't compile after having (re-)emerged all java-packages
with a corrected jdk.conf, file a bugreport. To find all packages you
have to re-emerge use java-1.5-fixer from the list.
