sun-jdk masked?

I registered with sun and downloaded all the necessary files for the sun-j2sdk ebuild, but when I try to emerge, it says

emerge: all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=virtual/jdk-1.4" (from ebuild / dev-java/sun-j2sdk-1.4.0-r1 merge) have been masked.

What do I need to do?

Try:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p sun-j2sdk

No, in order to make sun-j2sdk you must first manually install sun-jdk or ibm-jdk or blackdown-jdk.

To get that to emerge you need to do the following

1. Download all the necessary files... Make sure they are in /usr/portage/distfiles. You can get the list @ http://tushar.lfsforum.org/javafromscratch.txt

2. cd /usr/portage/dev-java/sun-j2sdk

3. emerge sun-j2sdk-1.4.0-r2.ebuild

That's it. No need to switch to the ~x86 use flags. Just make sure that you have all of the files that the tushar site mentions or you could have a compile that oes for 2 or 3 hours then craps out.
