Hi,
is there a reason why OpenSUSE won’t come with SUN Java prepakaged?
Preinstalled Java seems to be ice something, which doesn’t work with most
of the Java software. Is there an easy way to replace it with real Java and have all the settings ready made. With this I refer to environment.
Best regards
Kari
My current project is to make IDE for the BV513 PIC-board.
SUN Java is in NON-OSS
Just add it. No problem.
Hi,
Java is proprietary software, of which openSUSE does not have any preinstalled. It does, however pull in proprietary packages after your first update. The java installed is the opensource version based on IcedTea and openJDK. To get SUN Java just open Yast Software Management and search for sun. It should be java-1_6_0-sun and java-1_6_0-sun-plugin. Make sure to uninstall the opensource version called java-1_6_0-openjdk
Take Care,
Ian

Agreed with the response, though maybe not with the post. I run a LOT of
Java-based software, and so far, with some quirks, it all works. The only
quirks I have had (so far, knock on wood) have been the need to accept a
lot more signatures of JARs for one of Novell’s own products. Not sure
why this is still, but after clicking ‘Ok’ a few times it still ends up
working.
Anyway, OpenJDK is definitely getting better. A couple years ago I don’t
think anything I ran worked in it. Today it takes work to find where it
doesn’t work.
Good luck.

I guess it’s all relative - all my professional work is with J2EE servers (mostly WebSphere and Weblogic), and none of those work with openJDK, unfortunately. It’s not a huge deal, though, since the Sun (to be Oracle) version is readily accessible in openSUSE’s repos.
My pet peeve would be that Sun JDK5 was removed from the repos, and this is still required on certain J2EE apps, which don’t work on JDK6. No drama, since I found that the download from the Sun/Oracle site for JDK5 installs without a hitch on openSUSE (on 11.2 at least, haven’t tried it on 11.3).

Ah… and I do little with J2EE stuff. While I’ve written a bit in Java
I wouldn’t consider myself a Java programmer so that could be an issue.
Thank-you for posting back the details.
Good luck.

Problem is really bad on the enterprise side. There, there are MANY
solutions that REQUIRE the Sun Java and ONLY the Sun Java… (or in
some cases, ONLY the IBM Java).
Java is evil in my book… there’s a MILLION reasons… this is just
one.
Well - on the enterprise side, I shiver when I think of alternatives, though.

Well… what I mean is that software developed in Java, while promising
to deliver cross platform… doesn’t. I’m sorry… but I can’t count
the number of times Java doesn’t work across distributed systems…
leaving you with a stack trace as it’s primary debug recourse… usually
a mile an a half long… and at the end of the day, it’s because Java !=
Java… so it fails to live up to its hype.
J2EE and friends have effectively promised to be a distributed OS… and
it fails miserably. Just like the ADA execution environment before it.
About the closest thing I’ve seen to making this work successfully was
LISP. Arguably in the *ix world… Bourne shell… more or less works
well (for the common elements).
