But you get a full Java stack. Thus it is not really just for one package. It should be for all Java stuff. Like using Netbeans to do Java development, with full access to all system jars, etc. Could also use it for deployment on servers. In the sense that it is an entire Java stack from source, with your choice of JDK and Java release target or system default. It allows Gentoo's Java system to be used on other OS. Which is more worth while than installing prefix etc just for Netbeans. Though things like spring, jenkins etc is a pain. Jenkins needs Spring. Spring 4.x needs almost ever Java project that has ever existed current or not. Now Spring 5.x needs Kotlin, and that I have to bootstrap :| Stuck on some other stuff like JMeter due to jodd-logging, odd build order with javac and groovyc. Also VisualVM, which was stuck on older Netbeans. But now that I have netbeans in jars I can build VisualVM my way without having to use the ant NB harness. Tons left to do, but making good progress slowly. Eventually I will get there. Or if others pitch in, will happen sooner than later. This far this is all me, 1 man army :) While Java in Gentoo bit rots... -- William L. Thomson Jr.
