While I would not consider it ideal I would recommend keeping the last JDK 1.6 version that still is covered by the DLJ and ship the OpenJDK releases as well. There are some issues with OpenJDK 6 that prevent some applications from working. For the JDK 1.6 version a warning should/could be popped up when installing stating it is on its way out and is merely available as a convenience. This would give applications time to repackage until 12.2? Thoughts?

Does it make sense to go to Open JDK7 for 12.1?

How about regular JDK 7? It can be handled like Firefox in 11.4: the beta was shipped, and later updated to the final version.

Regular JDK7 is not anymore under the distributor license, so not an option, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-java+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-java+help@opensuse.org ----- No virus found in this message.
