Hallo all,

as you might know, Oracle have announced the end of general support for jdk6 in November 2012. In order to have maintenable system, we have to follow and switch to jdk7 as well.

I have just sumbitted the java-1_7_0-openjdk to Java:openjdk6:Factory - this release is based on icedtea-2.1, openjdk b147 and should be an equivalent of Oracle Java 7 u2. There are two minor problems preventing the succesfull submit into Factory

* it has to be rebuilt using java-1_7_0-openjdk * BuildRequires: -brp-check-suse and BuildRequires: -post-build-checks are not things Factory checking team would accept

I hope I will fix them this week and submit openjdk7 to Factory soon.

The next step would be rebuild of all java packages with jdk7 and fix possible problems, but this will be a task for time, when openjdk7 will be done.

Best regards Michal Vyskocil

Hallo Duncan,

Michal, do you think we can enable jamvm as a vm flavor as Debian and Ubuntu did? (and AFAIK they use it as a default for arm)

atm my priority #1 is to get openjdk7 to Factory for x86_64/i586, #2 is fix build problems in Java:packages:JDK7 and push them into Factory as well (it includes some updates into our old java stack). So arm is not what I can work at least until 12.2.

By the way, they seem to have a better package naming convention for that: icedtea-7-jre-jamvm (splits as a subpackage and only contains the libjvm.so)

Sure, but the other point is the debian's "spec" file is way more comlicated than our current one ;-). BTW: if there is someone in opensuse-arm want to work on that, don't hesitate to contact me.
