when installing jre, a full jdk is downloaded (57M).
$ paludis -pi jre

* virtual/jdk-1.6.0 {:1.6} [N]

Is this a bug?
I don't really recall the reason for virtual/jdk to be the default provider of
virtual/jre but you can find it somewhere on bugs.gentoo.org if you
care... ;) You can manually pick another provider. E.g. `paludis -qD
virtual/jre:1.6` will show you all possible providers for slot 1.6 of jre.
For 1.6 sun-jre-bin is the only alternative.

That said java in the browser only requires a jre, even on Gentoo. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
