Btw. Speaking about help.m4 help output , the mentioning of openjdk-8-jdk in the various package-installer help outputs seems to be outdated and misleading to me :88 apt_help() { 89 case $1 in . . . 94 openjdk) 95 PKGHANDLER_COMMAND="sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk" ;; 96 alsa) 97 PKGHANDLER_COMMAND="sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev" ;; I think we would need jdk11 by now (or soon jdk12, but I am not sure about package availability at the various distros for 12).
I agree. It's a bit of a problem, because the availability of the N-1 JDK needed to compile is not regularly available through the normal distro package system, as other dependencies are.
I suspect we should stop referring to using the system package installer for the boot jdk, and instead point to http://jdk.java.net for the core platforms, and https://adoptopenjdk.net/ for the rest.

Currently the configure-step outputs help for a number of packages + related installation calls in case of missing dependencies (like cups / alsa etc.) . This help output step covers a few tools (like apt-get). However the OpenSUSE / SLES tool zypper is not supported . This change adds output for zypper .
