I left the default java as blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01 so emerging doesn't break, then set my Eclipse up to run using sun-jdk-1.5.0.03 (/usr/bin/eclipse-3 -vm /opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0.03/bin/java). I usually launch my programs via a script and for now just specify the jre in the script. BTW, 1.5 offers a re

JDK is more than likely the one you want, the difference is exactly as you said, one is supposed to be just runtime environment (what most Windows users get to view java on web pages) whereas JDK lets you build java applications on your machine. You can probably ignore that line with jre-bin seein
