+Title: Pending Removal of Java support on IA64
+Author: Petteri Räty <betelgeuse@gentoo.org>
+Author: IA64 Arch Team <ia64@gentoo.org>
+Author: Vlastimil Babka <caster@gentoo.org>
+Content-Type: text/plain
+Posted: 2011-02-19
+Revision: 1
+News-Item-Format: 1.0
+Display-If-Keyword: ia64
+Display-If-Installed: dev-java/java-config
+
+Since the IA64 arch team does not have the resources to maintain Java support,
+we have agreed that ia64 keywords will be dropped from Java packages, and the 
+java USE flag masked on IA64, unless more manpower becomes available.
+If you are willing to help with the maintenance, please contact ia64@gentoo.org.
+If there is not enough interest, Java support will be removed during the second
+half of March 2011.
+
+The removal is tracked in bug #345433.
