[opensuse-factory] Leap 15.0 Beta - Java 11 as default (shouldn't be Java 10?)
Hi all! I realized OpenJDK 11 is installed by default with openSUSE Leap 15.0 Beta. But the OpenJDK official website offers version 10 to download: http://openjdk.java.net/ This page confirms version 10 went General Availability on March 20, 2018 and version 11 is in development: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/ OpenJDK 11 is scheduled to be General Availability on September 25, 2018: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/11/ Leap 15.0 is scheduled to be released on May: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap Is it really going to bring an in development Java as default? Isn't it dangerous? (from a stability point of view) Could someone please explain that? Thank you!

At least you still have 1.8 9 10 and 11 (so really a big choice of jvm) -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The question was whether 11 is a good default. Looking around the openjdk website, 10 seems to be just 2 weeks old. Are there major problems with this versions that are fixed in the 11 dev version? Is the 11 version clearly marked as a development preview in the opensuse package name to guide users? While I do check java package selections during installation because I had problems with gcj-compat-devel in the past, I wouldn't have known about the status of version 11 before Antonio's message.

Curiously, while those pages offer Java 10: http://openjdk.java.net/ http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html java.com offers version 8 Update 161: https://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp Java 8 is still maintained (last update was released January 16, 2018). I realized that because until yesterday I was using openSUSE's OpenJDK 10 for everything. But Brazilian's income tax * software did not launch on OpenJDK 10 and forced me installing Oracle's JRE 8u161. * Not sure that is the right translation, but "Imposto de Renda" in Portuguese, according to Wikipedia, would be "income tax" in English Antonio The Linux Kamarada Project http://kamarada.github.io/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I had a similar problem with the Spanish Income Tax software (yes, your translation is correct; in Spain it is "Impuesto de la Renta de las personas físicas", or IRPF). But since a year or two they replaced the Java software (programa Padre) with an online Web page: java is not used and we need an internet connection. -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.
