If it was just a broken lucene then maybe, but this revealed bugs in Hotspot itself. I'd be curious to know how/why these bugs never revealed themselves earlier in whatever tests hotspot currently has, and whether or not any test cases have since been added to cover this now. Mark On

I believe the code in Lucene which breaks, along with the tests that exercise that code ( and the breaking test ) were written within the last month. I'm wondering if these optimizations were left off by default in OpenJDK, but only enabled in the Sun JDK build. Does anyone know what

Out of curiosity - how are you using it? ( I mean from a practical point of view ). Are you just dropping it into your JDK's boot classpath? How are you getting maven/ant/build-tool-of-choice to pick up its classes over the original JDKs versions? On 29/07/2011, at 10:03 AM, clay wrote:

When you install Lion there is no Java -preinstalled-. However, if you run any java application, or run java from the command line then Lion will prompt you, and automatically install java for you, then run the application you original tried to run. If you want OpenJDK 1.7 - download Henri

That looks to be the one they auto-install when you attempt to run any java apps. Personally - I'm zoo down with this install model. So seamless, and if you don't care about Java then you don't have it. On 22/07/2011, at 10:13 PM, Ben Smith-Mannschott wrote: Also, Google found me a link to
