Yes there is. I don't need AWT & Co to run a webapplication container like jetty or tomcat - but both need a java compiler to compile jsps & co. So imho yes, its rational to have only a headless jre installed and a javac compiler there.
-- openjdk-6-jdk should depend on openjdk-6-jre-headless too https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu. Status in “openjdk-6” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: openjdk-6-jdk OpenJDK depends on: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3), libx11-6, openjdk-6-jre (>= 6b11-2ubuntu2), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1) But it could and should depend on openjdk-6-jre OR openjdk-6-jre-headless. I don't need any of the bloated X references on a headless installation. I would like to see this fixed. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
