Welcome to Gentoo Java Wiki
This is the wiki, source browser, and issue tracker for the Gentoo Java team's latest creations. This is also where the Gentoo Java developers collaborate with outside contributors. Documentation and etc herein can be modified by Gentoo Developers as well as outsider contributors with overlay commit access. Because of such, this should not be considered official, documentation and etc as found on gentoo.org. Where only developers with CVS commit access can modify "official" documentation and etc. However many official documents do start here.
Current priorities / goals

- Migrate all existing packages to new Java eclasses and get them stabilized (not migrated, another view on not migrated, progress chart)
- Better support for packages with optional features depending on higher JDK than 1.4
- Implement support for different implementations (packages or JDK-bundled) of (mostly JSR) API specifications through virtuals
- Remove Stale Packages from the tree into Junkyard
- Planning generation 3
