Status of Sun Java?

What is going on with Sun JDK? Everything is masked and I'm stuck with blackdown java.
Is this specific to amd64? I know there are issues with 1.5, but what about the previous versions?

------------------------------------
$ emerge -p sun-jdk

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sun-jdk" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 (masked by: -* keyword)
- dev-java/sun-jdk-1.2.2.017 (masked by: -* keyword)
- dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.06 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)
# <axxo@gentoo.org>
# Lotsa things in the tree don't compile with 1.5 yet
# 1.5 defaults too -target 1.5 making downgrading to a 1.4(/1.3)
# impossible, see bug #69970 and bug 65937 for more information/discussion
# http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/Java_FAQ

- dev-java/sun-jdk-1.3.1.17 (masked by: -* keyword)
- dev-java/sun-jdk-1.3.1.16 (masked by: -* keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Just to make 1 thing sure. As far as I know SUN only delivers amd64 binaries starting from the java 1.5.xx series all other version are only available in 32bit for linux and windows.

If there is something wrong with it I can't tell you. If everything works fine I can't tell you. I can only tell you what I know.

I have sun-jdk-1.4.xx installed as x86.
I have sun-jdk-1.5.xx installed as amd64.

What do I run with it. Latest tomcat with mod_jk connector to apache2. Just for 1 application: OpenXchange.

Everything is running and compiled using the java 1.5.xx version without problems. And until now I haven't had any problems with the application.

So what can I say. Yes maybe sun-jdk-1.5.xx must be unmasked but maybe not. For me the application I need it for works without problems. Can I tell you for 100% sure that everything else would work perfect with it. Then my answer is NO.

Just try it. if it works then it is great, if it doesn't work then to bad.

I hope this helps you out a little bit.

Ok, the point is not version 1.5 specific. I'm still not able to unmask/install *any* of them.

You can unmask them but you need to dl the archive by hand from the Sun website and put it in your portage/distfiles dir, because of license agreements.

Like said just before me you have to download the packages manually.

Also if you want to unmask them and haven't found out yet this is what I have in my /etc/portage/package.keywords:

Code: Select all


>=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5 ~amd64

=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4* x86

If you still have problems let me know.

There is no solution, I mean the emerge says that you need to download the files and put them in /etc/portage/distfiles. It's ridiculous that people don't even look at the output of emerge when it fails.

To add kdillen, add this line into your /etc/portage/package.unmask:

Code: Select all

>=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0

HTH.
