Bug#508462: tex4ht: oolatex doesn't like GNU's java [with a patch]
tags 508462 - patch reassign 508462 java-gcj-compat forcemerge 474075 508462 thanks Hello, As explained in this list: - This problem is caused by java-gcj-compat declaring a compatability with java version 1.5 which is AFAICS incorrect. - The entry of opendjk packages means that tex4ht no longer needs a non-free java to run and tex4ht Suggests the openjdk runtime. - the problem has already been reported as #474075.

Yes, but tex4ht-common suggests openjdk-6-jre-headless. as you should know, oolatex (xtpipes) needs java from Sun Which is packaged in Debian as openjdk-6-jre-headless. here it is a patch to let oolatex test which java implementation is run by the command java, and to exit with a meaningful error message (that can be improved, of course) The way in which java is run it automatically checks for java version 1.5 (which is what is required). Unfortunately, gcj is listed as providing this compatability without actually providing it. A bug (#474075) has been filed against gcj for this. So there is no patch to tex4ht required in my opinion.
