Understood and I usually do.
  (jdk isn't small! :))
The request was for both.


This reminds me another request though.
 But I'll have to sit through the entire FAQ.


When building a package from source, I want a way to prefer installing
dependencies from prebuilt packages.


What I did lately is see what it prints as the dependencies, control-c,
manually install
those binary packages, then come back and rerun the higher level source
build.
Or I just let it run a while and do build unnecessarily from source.


Thanks,
