Netbeans 5.0-beta2 , Sun Application Server 8.1 and Java-gcj

[John W. Himpel]

All,

Not wanting to "pile on" on the thread from Dan Thurman, but I am unable
to install the Netbeans 5.0 beta2 + AS 8.1 with java-gcj-compat
installed (one single download & install from Sun).  I can get the
Netbeans portion of the install to run fine, but the AS 8.1 portion
refuses to recognize a valid location for the JDK.

Is this also a problem with AS8.1 not following the FHS?  Or am I not
pointing the the proper directory for the JDK?

I can get Netbeans to generate and work with stand-alone Java apps just
fine.  I just can't get an Application Server to work to provide
servlets and EJBs.

Thanks.

John

Hi John,

You won't, because the GCJ packages included with Fedora is not yet a 
fully-compliant Java2 implementation. Most Swing applications won't work 
at all. I don't know if Sun AS 8.1 would work with GCJ but I'd guess it 
won't. Anyway Sun software expects to find a Sun Java SDK, not a 
GCJ-based one, and so their install scripts and startup scripts won't 
work without some tweaking.

Tomcat should work fine with GCJ (but not without some configuration 
hacking) and JonAS seem to work for EJB support.

gcj is not java, but happens to run lots of programs written in the java
programming language.  We'd like for it to run more.  I'd like to
suggest a two pronged approach to your current problem:

Prong 1: File bugs in bugzilla.redhat.com.  Commit to understanding and
working through any issues with us so that one day we can run any Open
Source software that is important to you.  This requires commitment and
effort on all our parts.

Prong 2: Install SUN's JDK using the Jpackage technique -- not Sun's
RPM, and use "alternatives --config java" and "alternatives --config
javac" so you can get your other work done.

Thanks!

AG

On my honor, I will do my best ....

Easier said than done.
1) The unpacking of the sun jdk uses options on the tail command that
are no longer supported on FC4 + Rawhide.
2) The java-1.4.2-sun-fonts-1.4.2.10-1jpp.i586.rpm that is created does
not play will with the new modular X (/usr/X11R6/ directory has been
changed to be FHS compliant).
3) The j2ee JDK went fine.
4) The installation of java-1.4.2-sun-compat-1.4.2.09-1jpp.src.rpm went
fine.
5) Using "alternatives" set java & javac to point to the Sun versions.
6) Now the installation of netbeans-5.0-beta2 goes fine, but the
installation of Sun's Application Server 8.1-2005Q2 will not install.
It gets the following in the installation log:

I have installed:
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-133
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4

I suspect that one of these s/b removed, but I don't know which one.

I may be bringing this information to the wrong place.  RH Bugzilla
doesn't see the right place since these are jpackage and Sun packages,
yet I cannot find a Bug Reporting system for either of those.  Pointers
to the proper place to file this info would be gratefully accepted.

Someone in a previous post suggested trying Jonas instead of Sun's AS.
Unfortunately, netbeans doesn't play nice with Jonas yet (deployment
module for Jonas is being worked on Open Source community, but it isn't
done yet).  It was also suggested that I use Tomcat.  I don't believe
Tomcat has an EJB container (but I could be wrong).

Thanks.

John

Sun Java bugs should be reported here:
