I finally got Gentoo's icedtea-7.9999 ebuild working to the point that
it fails with almost the same error I posted before.  It looks the
same except there is no "Annotation processing got disabled, since it
requires a 1.6 compliant JVM" error.  I think that's a live ebuild but
maybe not.  Could you point me to the bug or the patch so I can make
sure it is applied in my build?
