Java on ppc urgently needs that feature implemented, because otherwise we are stuck with jdk-1.3, which unfortunately is being realized by a discontinued product (blackdown). Given that jdk is already at 1.5, the current ppc java developer fears that gentoo on ppc is not going to be taken seriously anymore by people working professionally with java. Unless of course when we could bump our jdk to 1.4 but that would require multiple-virtuals. Best regards, Pieter Van den Abeele -- gentoo-releng@gentoo.org mailing list
