[gentoo-java] Eclipse and seamonkey

[Caster]

Hi,

I've got some wonders about Eclipse ebuild... if I understand correctly,
 gecko-sdk and mozilla is obsolete and seamonkey or firefox should be
used, so it was changed from gecko-sdk to seamonkey, but:
- would it be possible to add firefox support instead of just seamonkey?
I even think some versions had it, but maybe it's just my imagination.
Most of other stuff builds against firefox fine, eclipse is now the only
package I have depending on seamonkey without firefox alternative...
- why is the useflag reversed, using "no-seamonkey" ? there's already
global flag "seamonkey"...

The last time I checked, eclipse did not like firefox-1.5 at all, and
would fail to compile against it. This was with eclipse 3.1, but perhaps
has been changed with 3.2.

As for why it is no-seamonkey instead of seamonkey, it is because we
want seamonkey on by default, and there isn't a way to archive it
otherwise because seamonkey isn't turned on by default on any profile I
am aware of, and we can't set default use flags on a per package basis.
