I think its probably worth mentioning that there are likely problems
Gentoo faces around Java that are of a legal manner, not merely
technical.

Like for instance, the fact you can't install the official Orcale/Sun
JDK/JRE automatically is due to the fact:

- They prohibit replication/mirroring
- Their website requires a license agreement acceptance to download

And the latter of these is /plausible/ to automate via curl and some
"Set cookies" magic ( apparently arch do this ), but falls into a legal
grey area.


If this is a problem we have simply downloading and installing, I'd
imagine there are other problems we face having it on ready-to-go media.
