Configuring Software - java
Sadly, at some point you are going to have to use the slow, memory hungry cross-platform debacle known as java. Before you begin, you'll need to modify /etc/portage/package.license. You may also want to disable the doc USE flag in /etc/portage/package.use since it will ask you to visit sun's website and jump through a number of hoops before you can perform the emerge.
$ sudo nano -w /etc/portage/package.license
Add the following directive:
dev-java/sun-jdk dlj-1.1
Once ready, begin the emerge.
$ sudo emerge -av sun-jdk
