Hope this changes, as Oracle says on http://robilad.livejournal.com/90792.html "Now, with OpenJDK 7 serving as the basic for Oracle JDK 7 releases, and moving to run much closer in sync then OpenJDK 6 and Oracle JDK 6 did, the DLJ is no longer necessary." so, if there are bugs, report them - this is Oracle's decision and we're just hit by the consequences ;( Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE aj(a){suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-java+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-java+help(a)opensuse.org

If there is any volunteer for such task, do not hesistate to contact me and I will help him with getting his script into the Factory. But I am not going to do it neither maintain such script.

Focusing on OpenJDK - Sun/Oracle JDK will not be in 12.1
by Andreas Jaeger 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Up to now, openSUSE users had the choice of using openJDK (GPL with classpath exceptions) or Sun/Oracle's Java. The Sun/Oracle Java was licensed under the "Distributor's License for Java (DLJ)", which allowed Linux distributors to package and redistribute Sun/Oracle Java. Recently, Oracle announced [1] that openJDK 7 is the new official reference implementation for Java SE7. They no longer see the need for the DLJ licensed Java implementation and so have retired that license. openSUSE chooses to proceed with distributing the GPL licensed official reference implementation, openJDK. We will no longer distribute newer versions or updates of the now proprietary licensed Sun/Oracle JDK. Existing installations of the Sun/Oracle JDK are still licensed under the now retired DLJ. openSUSE users who wish to continue using the Sun/Oracle JDK (including new versions thereof and updates) should now download directly from http://www.oracle.com/java. For now we keep the current sun-java packages (under the DLJ license) in the Java:sun:Factory project and will not update them anymore. I suggest to document in the openSUSE wiki how to install the Sun/Oracle JDK version from Oracle under openSUSE.
