It's been about 9 months now that Java 1.5 has been an official release from Sun
and I see no ebuilds, masked or not. I'm going to be teaching this
puppy starting
in September, and I need to start using it. This raises two questions:
1) Is there a simple way to install the current release without damaging the
ebuild-installed ones I have, or should I just blunder ahead and mangle my
own PATH and such in .bashrc_local (or whereever -- this is a
one-user machine).
2) Better yet, is there a way to integrate such a release with
java-config. I took
a very brief look at the Python, and java-config is just cryptic
and undocumented
enough for me to prefer to *not* learn it well enough to answer this myself.
