That would likely be a big one since its from IBM, and the core to their JDK for Power. IBM also has a JDK, not packaged on Gentoo. Everyone already hates Oracle so little interest in IBM. Ideally Gentoo should have it, though not sure if it will continue on beyond 8. Maybe why they released J9. It does support different archs. https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/ -- William L.
