Hi, just a quick update what we're doing with java now: - we build everything on ix86 and x86_64 with sun java 1.5 (one additional reason I was completely unaware of is that this is the only version included in the opensuse distribution and that we want our user to be able to rebuild the java packages we ship with the java SDK package we ship) - we build everything with -target 1.4 to ensure compatibility with free java runtimes. This is checked during our internal (sorry) build process with a script: unpack jars, check class files with file, reject 1.5 or later bytecode. - I will look at ppc sun java, but didn't have the time yet - we will reasses the opensuse IBM java situation, but cannot comment on anything right now (just that much: it's not a technology problem...) - further plans, but not for 10.2: more jpackage packages in the build service, assess free java compilers (ecj looks promising) and runtimes comments etc. welcome. cheers, Sonja -- Sonja Krause-Harder (skh@suse.de) Research & Development SUSE Linux Products GmbH --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
