Java Source Package (Sun)

[Marco]

Hello

I recently had some point about Java development on OpenSuse in the
Beta-List, and it looks like I have to add another one.

I need the Java sources to add it to my IDE in order to get all
Javadoc-Codeassist. This is usually in a file called src.zip and after
some research I found out that on linux, this file is usually just
inside the jde folder.
Well, not in OpenSuse 11.2 were I installed the whole Java-thingy and no
source is available. In Kubuntu I could install a package Java-Source,
but I cannot find anything like that here.

Any advises.

P.S. my intention was to use my laptop as a machine to develop
especially because of all the nice features available via Yast. But I am
running in a lot of trouble recently, especially when it comes to usuablity.

11.2 is pre-release/beta/release candidate software and as such you
should anticipate LOTS of usability troubles..

if you want to code and produce java applications without those
troubles you should use stable, proven *production* level tools.. SLED
comes to mind.

In a RC I'd expect everything to be in place, and only bugfixes to this.
I dont think I will get a Java-Source-package when the final release is
out. But I hoped so, thats why I posted it here.

OH! i didn't realize you knew it hadn't been released yet, otherwise i
would have said: 11.2 is pre-release/beta/release candidate software
and to ensure other testers see what you have to say, or answer your
questions please use the pre-release forum:
http://forums.opensuse.org/pre-release-beta/

however, if you have a bug that needs to be reported then you need to
know that just posting to *any* of the forums here is not the way to
be heard....instead you need to get involved and log a bug report as
noted here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Testing/

Thanks. Will do. The reason why I put this here was because, as
mentioned, I didnt relate this to be an prerelease issue.

still, it would nice to fix it prior to release, maybe?
