Walt and Kenneth,
Your help with this problem is appreciated, though the problem still
persists.
What versions of java do you guys have installed? What does "eselect
java-vm list" show on your machines?
I'm on AMD64, what architectures are you running?
Looking around, /usr/bin/java is a symlink to run-java-tool which is
working. For example "java -version" displays an appropriate value.
Output from multiple tests of eselect, java-config, and emerge is
attached. To summarize the attachment:
/usr/lib/jvm reports icedtea6 and sun-jdk-1.6.0.20
"eselect java-vm list" shows sun-jdk as active
"eix -e --nocolor ant-core" shows ant-core installed
"eselect java-vm set system 1" successfully changes to icedtea6
"emerge -qv ant-junit" fails because ant-junit isn't found
"eselect java-vm set system 2" successfully changes to sun-jdk-1.6.0.20
"emerge -qv ant-junit" fails because ant-junit isn't found
notice that both icedtea6 and sun-jdk-1.6.0.20 have been tried and "emerge
ant-junit" fails with both
On a related note,
"java-config -S" only works for user 'root'. It doesn't work for an
individual user, e.g. 'relson'
"eselect java-vm set" allows system-wide setting of the vm and also has a
per-user option.
Also, eselect includes an unnecessary (but harmless) / in the sym-link, i.e.
eselect: current-system-vm -> /usr/lib/jvm//icedtea6
java-config: current-system-vm -> /usr/lib/jvm/icedtea6
