java An elegant set of language bindings to allow you to write native GNOME applications in Java. Works with both traditional Java VMs and also with GCJ, allowing the creation of native Linux executable binaries. This library comes from the java-gnome project, which in turn is part of the official suite of GNOME language bindings. This ebuild contains the Java bindings around the GConf libraries. If you're interested in this you probably want to emerge java-gnome - a meta package which in turn depends on the various GNOME libraries which comprise the complete java-gnome language binding suite. More probably, some program that uses gets at gconf via the java-gnome libraries will be bringing it in for you.
