Hi,
I have a program that really needs jre 1.8. Although I have installed Openjdk 1.8, it refuses to run. Actually, it's an installer that installs a java-application. Does Opensuse 13.2 have an jre 1.8 ? Or do I have to install Oracle's version (with all the problems to do that) ? I don't find it in the standard repo's or on the build-service.
openSUSE no longer has any sun/oracle jre, since Sep 2012. They changed the license.
Oops. That's unclear. It was Oracle who changed the license (redistribution part), not openSUSE.
So, see here for instructions: <https://en.opensuse.org/Sun_Java>
But we have OpenJDK.
True. Unfortunately, some applications directly fail if they don't have jre, or have strange errors. Or, they are supplied by a third party, with support. If there is an error, and you are not using jre, they refuse to help till you do (for instance, my government). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
