In my environment there is a java-home.local; it pulls the home by running # exec java-config --select-vm=icedtea-7 --jre-home  , which outputs a warning message because I have icedtea-bin-7 installed. I could change this script, or emerge icedtea-7 from sources (which is what I'll do, since I am not partial to binary builds). OVirt isn't in the main portage tree; I should contact the overlay maintainer to correct this script.

might be that iced-tea won't pass the check of validJre in the script 
above-mentioned.

2 options:

1. install openjdk 7
2. force use your JRE with OVIRT_ENGINE_JAVA_HOME=/path/to/icedtea when 
invoking engine-setup
