Hi all, I found 2 (small) defects while trying to build openJDK with the latest instructions: - /usr/share/applications might not exist if building only required and recommended deps. If it does not exist the "cat >>/usr/share/applications/openjdk-7-policy.desktop..." instruction fails. - (more controversial, sorry) It seems to me that icedtea-web is not really a dependency (even optional). You only need the tarball in the parent directory of the build directory. So, I'd rather see icedtea-web listed in the Additional Downloads section. OTOH, if icedtea-web is already installed, the icon is already in /usr/share/applications, and there is nothing to do...
If you agree with the above, I propose to: - add "mkdir -p /usr/share/applications" before the said "cat" instructions - remove icedtea-web from the deps and move it to "Additional Downloads" - tidy up the text to remove lines above 80 chars where possible. Waiting until Fernando answers, but of course willing to hear anybody who would want to say something.
