Check how Sun JDK and JRE act together, specially at scripting level and how they manage the symlinks :) Yes I know that JDK also provides JRE but users will be able to install both packages also, and in that case you should contemplate that scenario and make sure your dummy packages and scriptage can handle that particular situation :)
Conflicts?
Conflicts where? You can't change Oracle packages man; So from that point of view, users will always be able to install both oracle packages... Where do you want to insert the Conflicts? :)
The dummy package. You have the jdk-dummy and the jre-dummy, you can make them conflict with each other. jdk-dummy provides what Oracle's jdk doesn't for openSUSE packages, and requires Oracle's jdk, making it a bridge between the two packages. You cannot install both bridges, because they conflict. You *can* install both of Oracle's rpms, but you cannot do so as a replacement to the distribution's packages (which is what the dummy packages do). About the JNI stuff... I don't know about that. The only JNI stuff I used were gtk bindings with eclipse, and I've never had any trouble switching VMs at will. That doesn't rule out problems though. But, presumably, he who replaces the JVM/JDK "knows what he's doing". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
