Sun JDK 1.6.0.17 is build only

Hello list,
I have installed the SUN JDK 1.6.0.17 but now it seems to be build only.

<snip>
localhost ~ # java-config -L
The following VMs are available for generation-2:
1) Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.03 [blackdown-jdk-1.4.2]
*) Sun JDK 1.6.0.17 [sun-jdk-1.6]

VMs marked as Build Only may contain Security Vulnerabilities and/or be EOL.
Gentoo recommends not setting these VMs as either your System or User VM.
Please see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/java.xml#build-only for more information
</snip>

I tried to downgrade to SUN JDK 1.6.0.15 but the problem persists.

I don't see a Build-Only flag for the VMs which are available. So what
is the problem here?

If there are Build Only VM's the output would look like this:

# java-config --list-available-vms
The following VMs are available for generation-2:
1) Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.03 [blackdown-jdk-1.4.2] (Build Only)
2) Blackdown JRE 1.4.2.03 [blackdown-jre-1.4.2] (Build Only)
3) IcedTea6-bin 1.4.1 [icedtea6-bin]
4) Sun JDK 1.5.0.20 [sun-jdk-1.5] (Build Only)
*) Sun JDK 1.6.0.16 [sun-jdk-1.6]

Did you read chapter 4 from the link above?

Thank you very much. I misunderstood the warning, and, yes, I read the
linked page too quickly.
