Hi,

I am having a server box that we intend to run some java application
on it. I noticed that both Sun and IBM JDK(s) will require X. It would
be pretty pointless to install X on a server box.

Is there a way to install these JDKs without X?

TIA.

From the sun-jdk-1.5.0 ebuild:

        DEPEND=">=dev-java/java-config-1.2
            sys-apps/sed
            jce? ( app-arch/unzip )
            doc? ( =dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.5.0* )"

        RDEPEND="x86? ( sys-libs/lib-compat )
            doc? ( =dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.5.0* )"

Doesn't seem to depend on X... (IIRC, some stuff, namely GUI things, do not work correctly without X).
