Unable to get JavaFX to install
by Dan Thurman
I am trying to get JavaX installed on F11-Eclipse. Seems
that I am missing some required components and need
some directions:
Added: http://javafx.com/downloads/eclipse-plugin/
Checked-boxed it, and attemted install results:
=====================================
Cannot complete the request. See the details.
Unsatisfied dependency: [com.sun.javafx.eclipse.editor
1.2.0.200905280115] requiredCapability:
osgi.bundle/org.eclipse.wst.common.snippets/0.0.0
Cannot find a solution where both "bundle
org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter [1.5.1,1.6.0)" and "bundle
org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter [1.6.0,1.7.0)" are satisfied.
Cannot find a solution where both "bundle
org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter [1.5.1,1.6.0)" and "bundle

Unsatisfied dependency: [org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core 1.6.0]
requiredCapability:
osgi.bundle/org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter/[1.6.0,1.7.0)
=====================================
What do I need to do/install to resolve:
1) osgi.bundle/org.eclipse.wst.common.snippets
So does that mean I need the WST components?
2) osgi.bundle/org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter
Is this related to subclipse v1.6x? I removed all of the
subclipse 1.6x from the install list and it still keeps cropping
up, why is that? In any case, subclipse v1.4.x is working
with F11-Eclipse just fine and does not seem to cause any
problems, so is it safe to ignore this "error"?
Thanks!

Problem w/ setting Sun's JVM via (g)alternatives?
by Dan Thurman
Since I am trying to get Eclipse's Ganemede working
again, I am told that I would need to use Sun's JRE,
however, I opted to use the JDK instead of the JRE.
I have downloaded and installed Sun's JDK 1.6 & 1.5
into /opt and it looks good. I can via environment
setting run the java -version tests.
However
I have added the /opt/jdk[...]/bin/java to the alternatives
list in the 'java' category for both versions as follows:
/opt/jdk.1.6[...]/bin/java priority: 1000
/opt/jdk.1.5[...]/bin/java priority: 500
then selected JDK v1.6, and tried to launch Eclipse.
What resulted was a popup failure with the
relevant entry:
[...]
-vm /opt/jdk1.6.0_16/bin/../jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so
[...]
Note: the entire "barf" is at the end of the line.
Why is 'java' replaced with '../jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so'?
Yes, the -vm path exist.
Is this normal?
Side question: is the JRE instead of JDK required? I wanted
the JDK so that I can do Java development but I do not think
there is a difference except only where the jre path is different.
Thanks-
Dan
The "barf":

System Log Monitor
by Arnab Chakraborty
Hi,
I am kind of new to open source programming and Linux (this is actually my
first mail in any open-source mailing list). I am trying to design a
software which can classify and store logs from different systems. It will
be a client-server system, so that someone from the server can monitor the
logs of different systems. I tried to do some research on the logging of
data in fedora, but couldn't find many helpful sites. So I would be grateful
if someone could tell me the working of the logging system in Fedora
(briefly).
Secondly, there are some log files in the directory */var/log* which
couldn't be displayed as text. I used the System Logging software provided
in System Tools to open them. But I would want to open them through my
software, any idea how to do that?
Looking forward to replies. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Arnab

Packaging YaCy
by Alexander Kahl
Hello dear Java developers and packagers,
this is my first post to this list.
I'm in the process of getting YaCy[1], a Java-based P2P distributed
search engine and its dependencies ready to be packaged for Fedora in
collaboration with upstream. While upstream was able to either kick out,
replace or fork unmaintained dependencies, some of them remain and in
turn pull in too many other dependencies I cannot handle myself so your
help is *really* appreciated.
In my opinion, YaCy would be a valuable addition to Fedora as it is
matured, leverages overall usability of the distribution as a
privacy-enhancing platform and we would be the *first* distro to offer a
fully-integrated version of YaCy so please consider helping out, I'd
really appreciate that!
You can find the current state of progress at my Fedora People Space[2],
the org-mode file[3] contains all dependencies and their current
solutions.
PDFBox[4] and FontBox[5] have been successfully ported from JPackage and
are ready for review, jakarta-poi still needs porting from JPackage,
jakarta-commons-fileupload is already maintained but the maintainer is
unresponsive and we need a newer version. jakarta-commons-jxpath[6] is
currently my biggest problem: It is owned but unreleased so I've
acquired co-maintainership but ran into the problem that building
requires mockrunner[7] which in turn pulls in so many dependencies (e.g.
mockejb) I cannot handle myself.
There is a thread[8] (in German only, sorry) about the ongoing
collaboration with upstream; they have another board[9] for discussions
in English the thread could also be continued at.
Help! :)
Regards
Alex
