ubuntu 12.04 ships both openjdk-6-jdk and openjdk-7-jdk in main, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=precise&keywords=openjdk In this case I think it is better we explicitly install the version we want rather than relying on the default-jdk pacakge. > Is there a reason we want openjdk-7 apart from being a newer > version? openjdk-7 is much more Sun compatible than openjdk-6, in fact AFAIU Oracle has made openjdk-7 mainline for java 7. > Why version 6 is still the default in ubuntu? dunno. you'd have to ask ubuntu. probably the path of least pain for them wrt the existing distro pkgs which are not sun6->openjdk7 refugees. thanks, Hamish ps- if any install script is including its own jre copy, that's unfortunate and it should stop. _______________________________________________ Live-demo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo http://live.osgeo.org http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc
