[gentoo-java] Looking for amd64 Java arch testers

For quite a while the amd64 arch team has had trouble handling
stabilization requests from us. If you are running amd64 stable you can
help us by becoming an arch tester.

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/tests/index.xml

The list of bugs to look is for example:

Feel free to ask any questions about how to test etc.

We usually try to include tips on how to best test the packages in question.

Most packages have src_test or examples so writing Java code shouldn't
be required. You do need to know how to compile and run the examples
(meaning how to use javac, java and java-config) of course. If people
need any help with stuff just join our #gentoo-java IRC channel and ask
specific questions.
