Consider the following:
Code:
# eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
grep: /usr/share/java-config-2/vm/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2: No such file or directory
grep: /usr/share/java-config-2/vm/sun-jdk-1.5: No such file or directory
grep: /usr/share/java-config-2/vm/sun-jdk-1.6: No such file or directory
  [1]   blackdown-jdk-1.4.2
  [2]   emul-linux-x86-java-1.6
  [3]   icedtea-bin-6
  [4]   icedtea-bin-7  system-vm
  [5]   sun-jdk-1.5
  [6]   sun-jdk-1.6

Of the six java vms listed, only entries 2, 3 & 4 are valid. How do I get rid of the bad entries?

Also, what do I need 'emul-linux-x86-java-1.6 for? I understand it's Oracle's 32bit Java SE runtime environment. I'm just not sure why I need it or where it gets used. "equery d emul-linux-x86-java" doesn't list any packages which require it. If I don't actually need it, I'd like to dump it.

Reported as bug 471038

dufeu,
Set the java-vm you want to use/keep from the list and remove the corresponding packages from the others.
Best.

The problem is that the corresponding packages are not installed. i.e.:
Code:
# eix sun-jdk
* dev-java/sun-jdk
     Available versions:  (1.6) 1.6.0.43^fs 1.6.0.45^fs
       {+X alsa derby doc examples jce nsplugin pax_kernel source KERNEL="SunOS"}
     Homepage:            http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/
     Description:         Oracle's Java SE Development Kit

So .. how do I get rid of the bad entries in this case?

You mean, you don't have those packages intalled?
What do you get from
Code:
equery list sun-jdk*


EDIT: it must be something really wrong. You shouldn't have the grep lines in your fist post
Code:
grep: /usr/share/java-config-2/vm/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2: No such file or directory
grep: /usr/share/java-config-2/vm/sun-jdk-1.5: No such file or directory
grep: /usr/share/java-config-2/vm/sun-jdk-1.6: No such file or directory

{laughs} That's correct, those packages are not installed:
Code:
# equery list sun-jdk*
!!! Invalid CPV: 'sun-jdk*'
# equery list sun-jdk
 * Searching for sun-jdk ...
!!! No installed packages matching 'sun-jdk'

It's not that there's "something really wrong". Everything seems to function fine. The real issue here appears to be that there are some ancient artifacts left which 'eselect java-vm list' sees. I think that all that needs to be done is for me to be pointed to where I can manually remove the bad pointers.

Or perhaps there is a command where I can force regeneration of the relevant pointers. It just occurred to me that I can try unmerging app-admin/eselect-java and the re-emerging it.

EDIT - unmerging/re-emerging didn't work.

dufeu,
I meant "something really wrong" with eselect java-vm, as it isn't behaving as expected. Its clear that it must be some stuff left behind when you unmerge those packages. Something that came from head, would be to remove the java-vm module from eselect or even to unmerge eselect and remerge it again to see what happens. Have you tried one of these things?

I did try to unmerge/re-emerge "app-admin/eselect-java". That did not resolve the issue.

The extra entries are an annoyance and not anything really important. None of the other eselect modules appear to be impacted. I'll probably file something in gentoo bugzilla this weekend.

Thank you for responding!

As I discussed with a very helpful dev bug# 471038, we determined that what I was seeing was cruft left over from incomplete uninstalls of java virtual machine packages. Consider:
Code:

All of the sub-directories under /opt with a block allocation of 8 are essentially left over empty directories orphaned by which ever version of Portage was running at the time of the respective package's un-install.

Clean up consists of removing the broken symlinks under /usr/lib/jvm and the respective empty directories under /opt.
