Hello&nbsp; Joshua<br><br>My name is David,<br><br>I saw you name n the Gentoo page<br><br>I would be extremely grateful if you could give me some answers&nbsp; and advice.<br><br>I want to use&nbsp;&nbsp; Java 5.0 JDK &nbsp;&nbsp; and netbeans 5.5&nbsp; and&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; java EE5.&nbsp; &nbsp; and also the sun glassfish open source&nbsp; server &nbsp;&nbsp; on Gentoo if it is possible&nbsp;  
<br><br>1-&nbsp; Are these&nbsp; now available&nbsp; on the Gentoo disks or are they&nbsp; supported by Gentoo ?&nbsp; - I have&nbsp; been to your java developer&nbsp; page on Gentoo and it looks very&nbsp; active and exciting&nbsp; , really&nbsp; nice to see a linux distribution that is really working so hard on java integration &nbsp; - but I&nbsp;&nbsp; would&nbsp; like to know the status of things&nbsp;&nbsp;  
<br><br>2- where are&nbsp; the precise instructions to download the above mentioned&nbsp; packages (if they not installed already on&nbsp; Gentoo)&nbsp; ?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Is it a simple process?<br><br>3- Can I run&nbsp; javaEE5&nbsp;&nbsp; built applications on&nbsp; Gentoo&nbsp;&nbsp; with only the&nbsp; jdk 
5.0 &nbsp; kit&nbsp; installed&nbsp; or do also &nbsp; need to install &nbsp; javaEE5&nbsp; ? &nbsp; &nbsp; i know&nbsp; Sun has now&nbsp; open source java&nbsp; to Gentoo but&nbsp; i dont know&nbsp; how far it goes - ie does it include&nbsp; javaEE5?<br><br>Sorry for&nbsp; the&nbsp; length of questions but I have&nbsp; tried&nbsp; hard to get a good&nbsp; linux distro with good java support and &nbsp;&nbsp; I am hoping&nbsp; Gentoo is the one for me.
<br><br>Thankyou in advance&nbsp; for clearing up these issues with respect to Gentoo.<br><br>David &nbsp;  <br>
