You also have to echo to /etc/portage/package.keywords-- both packages are twice-masked. So in addition to the above: echo "dev-java/sun-jdk ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords echo "dev-java/java-sdk-docs ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords You can unmask just the specific version using Zac's syntax, but you can just unmask this and all future versions on general principle. > > After that you may want to use java-config to set java-1.4 as the default > system compiler. > > Zac On my system, the previously-installed system default VM did not change when I installed a new one-- what you might want to do is change the *user* VM with java-config, in order to actually use the newly-installed one. I'm sure there's a way to set the user VM permanently, but I don't know what it is, and it doesn't seem to 'stick' (once I close the program using Java, the user VM seems to go back to the default).
