Zev, if you really want to rebuild your whole system, then go ahead;
knock yourself out. Personally, I would rather be dragged behind the
back of a pickup truck over several miles of unimproved Texas roads,
but.... However, if you just want to solve your java upgrade problems,
you can try the Gentoo Java Upgrade Howto:

It worked for me, but it may not be true for others. (I'm trying to
avoid using that awful, cliched ``ymmv''.)
