Hi, I am trying to make the java package in Debian work with OpenJDK 7.
This is becomig necessary because the security support of OpenJDK 6 is about to expire, and that version will therefore soon be removed from Debian (see [1]). However, the java package built against OpenJDK 7 makes Octave crash in various weird ways (see [2]). It looks like a memory corruption problem. Has anybody successfully used the java package with OpenJDK 7? Any idea of the cause of this issue? I’ve started investigating this but I have no clue for the moment. Note that if this issue is not solved, the java package is at risk of being removed from the upcoming Debian release (Wheezy).
