I did 'emerge sun-jdk' and got 1.4.2.02 installed. However, the java-config
tool doesn't seem to be able to change what vm I'm using. Any ideas?

wendy@nectaris wendy $ java-config --list-available-vms
[blackdown-jdk-1.4.1] Blackdown JDK 1.4.1 (/etc/env.d
java/20blackdown-jdk-1.4.1) ()
[sun-jdk-1.4.2.02] Sun JDK 1.4.2.02 (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.02)
(selected)

wendy@nectaris wendy $ java-config --set-user-vm=sun-jdk-1.4.2.02
Now using Sun JDK 1.4.2.02 (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.02)
* You should login again to make your java-config changes available
* Or, you can type 'source ~/.gentoo/java-env' in your current session.

wendy@nectaris wendy $ source ~/.gentoo/java-env

wendy@nectaris wendy $ java -version
java version "1.4.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.1-01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.1-01, mixed mode)

I just noticed that my java-env file was two versions out of date, so I
did it again and found that the new environment file is named 'java'
not 'java-env'.

What do you have in your ~/.gentoo directory?

Only a java-env file dated today. Curiously, it's fine now. I've logged
out and back in since then...

wendy@nectaris .gentoo $ java -version
java version "1.4.2_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_02-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_02-b03, mixed mode)
