Packages marked this way are likely to not build, not run, and kick your dog. For example, I'm working on a revision of Eclipse, 3.2_rc6-r1 which uses some patches from Fedora, and haven't quite worked it all out, so it dies about 10 minutes into the build.... So to summarize, be _very_ careful what you use that's marked -*. - Josh -- gentoo-java@gentoo.org mailing list
