Hallo all, from time to time I got the complaints from the users want to use our Java packages, but not the JVM itself. As Oracle retired the permission to distribute their own JVM, most of the users want to manually install the Oracle JVM instead of openjdk we distribute. In a past, we have changed a logic of alljava.sh, so it search for jvm in /usr/java/latest and /usr/java as well, so can setup the proper JAVA_HOME for third-party JVM. The next unsolved problem are dependencies. In a bug#776951 I've got an proposal to introduce the fake package with java, but I do not like that approach. We don't need to deal with a dependencies at all, if we intentionally break them. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=776951 Instead of it, I propose following - change all Requires: java in openSUSE:Factory to Recommends: java. For default openSUSE setup, it won't make any difference. For people wanting to have third-party java installed, they can add lock for distributed JVMs and put their preffered JVM. There is only one problem - users can turn the recommends off, but I don't see that as a probable case for Java software, so I would go forward. Any objections, or other ways to go?
