Hi all, I've sent a submit requests for new version of java-1_6_0-openjdk and new icedtea-web package. This change follows upstream change, where the Java webstart (JNLP) and plugin implementation were moved to separate upstream project icedtea-web [1][2]. There are several reasons for that * users will know the plugin implementation is not a part of openjdk * ... and will know how to sue if their favourite applet will not work * separated release cycle - no need to rebuild complete JVM due a bug in plugin implementation - hopefully faster development and more releases improving the [1] http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web [2] http://dbhole.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/first-release-of-icedtea-web/ I hope I've fixed all corner cases during a testing, so update will be smooth. If not please drop me a bug. Regards Michal Vyskocil

Testers needed for java-1_6_0-openjdk
by Michal Vyskocil 13 Apr '11

Hi all, I prepared the new version of java-1_6_0-openjdk, which will be submitted into Factory soon. This release is based on openjdk b22 and latest icedta6-1.10.1 patchset, which have splitted the java webstart and plugin technologies to separate icedtea-web [1] project. That means the java-1_6_0-openjdk no longer contains the java plugin nor java webstart technologies. For that reason I made a new icedtea-web package, which contains such stuff. Even if I did a testing if that change will not break update-alternatives, there might be some problems, so I'm looking for volunteers. Packages are in Java:openjdk6:Factory [2] for all distributions excluding Evergreen:11.1 and SLE_11_SP1, because I'm facing some strange problem during a linking.
