Java having huge depends.

How come the java jre and jdk has x11 and qt(!) as depends?
I was about to install the Tomcat web-server on my server, and portage wanted to install a bunch of stuff including qt and xfree.
I could use --nodeps but it would be nice to know if I'm missing something or if it relly is like this.

just so that no one asks. my USE includes -X -qt -kde etc. etc..

When you say the java jdk and jre, exactly what portage packages are you referring to?

Does "emerge info" confirm your use flags are in effect?

The sdl use flag was added to the defaults recently, and seems to be trying to pull in X for a lot of people on headlss machines. Maybe try adding -sdl to use flags?

Recently, sdl was set as a default USE flag. Maybe that's your problem?

Ah! I missed that, it's never been there before?
Well it's solved now, thanks!
