From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/java.xml :

"...
As a regular user, you can use java-config --set-user-vm, which will
create $HOME/.gentoo/java-env with all required env vars. You would
normally source this from your shell's startup script ($HOME/.zshenv
in my case).
..."

I guess you need to put in .bashrc something like "source
/home/devon/.gentoo/java-env"

It's still magic even if you know how it's done.
