Bottom line: I still cannot get these. Details at the bottom.

What's more, I just retried looking for the jdk, and got (in part):
* dev-java/sun-jdk
Latest version available: 1.4.2.08
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]

This surely doesn't look like 1.5 to me. So I tried 'etcat' (which is
new to me)
and got it. I had to unmask it before emerge -s would show it. Weird,
because it shows other masked packages.
Anyway, I still cannot load it. This in spite of efforts to unmask:
My package.keywords and package.unmask:
> treat 1.5-bundles # cat /etc/portage/package.keywords

> dev-java/sun-jdk ~x86
> dev-java/sun-jre-bin ~x86

Here's what it looks like:
treat 1.5-bundles # emerge -av sun-jdk sun-sdk-docs
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.5.0*"
have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.5.0 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
# <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# lotsa things in the tree don't compile with 1.5 yet
# 1.5 defaults too -target 1.5 making downgrading to a 1.4(/1.3)
# impossible, see bug 65937 for more information/discussion
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
!!! (dependency required by "dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.03" [ebuild])
