Hallo all,

as you might know, Oracle have announced the end of general support for jdk6 in November 2012. In order to have maintenable system, we have to follow and switch to jdk7 as well.

I have just sumbitted the java-1_7_0-openjdk to Java:openjdk6:Factory - this release is based on icedtea-2.1, openjdk b147 and should be an equivalent of Oracle Java 7 u2.

Hi Michal,

Hallo Robert, thanks a lot for testing, I really appreciate that

Installing this package in 12.1 alongside java-1_6_0-openjdk leaves 1_6_0 as the default since it has a higher priority in /etc/alternatives.

/usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java - priority 17105 /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk/bin/java - priority 17100

Is this intended?

Good point, alternatives has to be increased - I've used 17147. Commited as a revision 9.

Also, java -version outputs

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.0) (SUSE LINUX build 1.7.0_147-icedtea-b147)

Which seems to indicate that it is based on icedtea-2.0, rather than 2.1 as you wrote.

My fresh private rebuild using openjdk7 itself (IOW not applicable for Factory) says /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk/jre/bin/java -version java version "1.7.0_b147-icedtea" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (suse-1-x86_64) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode) I suspect you have still the original package. Please take a loot at rpm -q --changelog java-1_7_0-openjdk But I've found the fileconflict between openjdk6 and openjdk7, which has to be fixed as well. $ rpm -ivh java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.0_147-1.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] file /usr/share/applications/policytool.desktop from install of java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.0_147-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b24.1.11.1-3.2.x86_64 but the point is, it has to be fixed in both packages :-( Best regards Michal Vyskocil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-java+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-java+owner@opensuse.org

note, jdk7 u4 has been released now and may be a good candidate as soon as IcedTea will be in sync

Hallo, Reading the original announcenment of icedtea 2.1 better """ We believe that this 2.1 release takes IcedTea beyond u3. In addition to the changes in the public OpenJDK7 repository for u2 and the security updates, which is what we believe u3 is comprised of[*], we also include a number of additional fixes (three already in u4): """ http://blog.fuseyism.com/index.php/2012/02/15/icedtea-2-1-released-openjdk7-... so java-1_7_0-openjdk is something between Oracle Java u3 and u4. And not the u2 as I thought bedore. Best regards Michal Vyskocil

 * it has to be rebuilt using java-1_7_0-openjdk  * BuildRequires:  -brp-check-suse and BuildRequires:    -post-build-checks are not things Factory checking team would accept

I hope I will fix them this week and submit openjdk7 to Factory soon.

The next step would be rebuild of all java packages with jdk7 and fix possible problems, but this will be a task for time, when openjdk7 will be done.

So java-1_7_0-openjdk has been submitted to Factory. See request 120720 [1]. There is only one copyright related issue, but I am sure we will find a solution soon.

The next step is to build the java stack using jdk7. I've made a new project Java:packages:JDK7 [2], where all those things will be tracked. From what I can tell you, there are two common problems - JDBC, which got a lot of new APIs and software manipulates with bytecode, which expect some changes in code. Fortunatelly as Oracle have announced the early drop of jdk6, most developers will be enforced to jdk7 soon.

Hallo Duncan,

Michal, do you think we can enable jamvm as a vm flavor as Debian and Ubuntu did? (and AFAIK they use it as a default for arm)

atm my priority #1 is to get openjdk7 to Factory for x86_64/i586, #2 is fix build problems in Java:packages:JDK7 and push them into Factory as well (it includes some updates into our old java stack). So arm is not what I can work at least until 12.2.

By the way, they seem to have a better package naming convention for that: icedtea-7-jre-jamvm (splits as a subpackage and only contains the libjvm.so)

Sure, but the other point is the debian's "spec" file is way more comlicated than our current one ;-). BTW: if there is someone in opensuse-arm want to work on that, don't hesitate to contact me.
