Hi Michal, Thanks for the clarification. Do you know how many packages are going to be impacted by this change? And what happens with packages that have to depend on the DLJ version? Are they then also going to the Factory?

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.
As it was announced - the Java:sun:Factory wont be removed, so you can get dlj packages from here. The biggest change is it will not be updated as the cirumstances has been changed by Oracle.
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?
No, if we know we cannot provide security updates, we can only drop the package from Factory. Regards Michal Vyskocil ----- No virus found in this message.
