2008/7/1 David Walluck <david(a)zarb.org>:
Unfortunately, there are recent packages passing the Fedora review
that
directly specify java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel as the JDK and I personally
don't like this.
I have one recent package that does this (specifies openjdk on F9+ and
icedtea on F8) and one that doesn't (just wants java >= 1.5). The
first package uses JNI and needs a Sun-like JVM to work (or at least
it took more autotools hacking than I cared to try to make it work),
and if I just put Requires: java it tended to grab gcj. I guess I
could also put java > 1.5, but the issue isn't the 1.5-ness, it's the
Sun-style JNI classes.
(The packages are pl-jpl and ice-java, respectively, if you're wondering).
