Feature changed by: Lukas Krejza (gryffus) Feature #314729, revision 2 Title: Include oracle java JRE installer rpm in non-oss repo openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Shekhar Neupane (wildnux) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Many new users find it very hard to install Java JRE in after they install opensuse distro. Since Oracle does not allow distributions to package java rpms, it would be great if there was some package in the non-oss repository that would download the installer from oracle's server and install java automatically for the user. I have created one project in build service for such package which would run installation script while installing and uninstallation script while uninstalling the package: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=oracle-java7-installer&project=home% 3Awildnux Note: that is just one quick workaround, which can be greatly improved to provide a better workaround for easier java installation. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because oracle does not let distributions to package java anymore, and new users always have trouble installing it correctly. + Discussion: + #1: Lukas Krejza (gryffus) (2013-01-01 20:22:37) + If we are not allowed to package Java in RPM and also let RPM to + download java online, what about at least include it on packman? + Sun/Oracle Java us much faster than icedtea, which most applies to java + games (minecraft i.e.) which decreases usability (users do not know + that there is another, faster java than which they have installed) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314729
