[opensuse] Java jre 1.8
Hi, I have a program that really needs jre 1.8. Although I have installed Openjdk 1.8, it refuses to run. Actually, it's an installer that installs a java-application. Does Opensuse 13.2 have an jre 1.8 ? Or do I have to install Oracle's version (with all the problems to do that) ? I don't find it in the standard repo's or on the build-service.

openSUSE no longer has any sun/oracle jre, since Sep 2012. They changed the license. So, see here for instructions: https://en.opensuse.org/Sun_Java -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

So, see here for instructions: https://en.opensuse.org/Sun_Java
But we have OpenJDK. It is in the java-1_8_0-openjdk package. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I installed Oracle's version using this : http://tutorialforlinux.com/2014/03/20/how-to-install-oracle-jdk-8-on-opensu... OpenJDK does not work for this application. Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Oops. That's unclear. It was Oracle who changed the license (redistribution part), not openSUSE.

True. Unfortunately, some applications directly fail if they don't have jre, or have strange errors. Or, they are supplied by a third party, with support. If there is an error, and you are not using jre, they refuse to help till you do (for instance, my government). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

http://www.agenciatributaria.es/AEAT.internet/Inicio/Ayuda/Consultas_informa... Oops. Even the English version shows in Spanish, with an popup that the page has not been fully translated. It is the page with the technical requirements for Java in Linux, for use with the taxation government agency in Spain (AEAT). The first paragraph says: Nota: Sólo son compatibles las distribuciones que admitan Java 8 oficial de Oracle. Google (correctly) translates as: Note: Only compatible distributions that support official Oracle Java 8. That's why we need it... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

At work, I've always used jdk-*.tar.gz from java.sun.com and extracted it somewhere beneath $HOME. You just have to set JAVA_HOME and adapt the PATH, and maybe to unset other already existing java environment variables. Never had a problem (other than the not-so-free license), neither on openSUSE nor on SLES.
