I had exactly the same problem, found that java is installed but in a 
different location to where emerge was looking.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mark # whereis jar
jar: /bin/jar /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/bin/jar

My fix was to symlink /bin/jar to the /opt/blah binary.  I then came up 
against an error where emerge cannot find the java include files.  I have 
added a few dir's to my $PATH in /etc/profile but as yet have not found a 
solution (ran out of time).
