how to add sun-java5-sdk? Not in portage

[tman7510]

I would like to add sun-java5-sdk but it is not in portage. also after adding it how to I switch from java 1.6 to 1.5. I want to compile my own android rom and need java5-sdk to do it. Also I'm hoping I can easily switch java versions so I wont mess up sabayon just to compile android for my htc dream. here is a how to but for ubuntu http://www.johandekoning.nl/index.php/2 ... vironment/ I'm sure it isn't hard to do the same with sabayon. Anybody have suggestions tips?

simply run:

Code: Select all

equo search sun


you will find the sun java packages, I assume that you want to develop using java, so run:

Code: Select all

equo install --ask sun-jdk


The latest version of the package on equo is 1.6, if you need a specific version, just add it to the end
of the package name, use:

Code: Select all

equo search sun-jdk


to view all available versions.

If you want to install the SDK using emerge, simply install the package using:

Code: Select all

emerge -av sun-jdk


If you need a specific version, use eix to find all of them, the latest version on portage
should be 1.6.

Code: Select all

eix sun-jdk


In both cases, to switch java versions check:

Code: Select all

eselect java-vm help
