Dimitri,
thanks for your reply. But I was referring to installation instructions
of OM - like the one on
http://openmeetings.apache.org/installation.html
It says: "/Note: OpenMeetings requires SUN/Oracle JRE 6, not openJDK!/"
I boldly ignored this and did a test-install of OM 2.0 using openjdk-7,
which seems to be running fine. So I suppose the warning applies to
openjdk-6 only (which wouldn't surprise me - as its compatibility to
Sun/Oracles JRE 6 is more than broken).
However, before entering productive operation using OM 2.0 on top of
openjdk-7 I would like to know, if there are any known issues with this
configuration as well?
Thanks,
Henning

Hi,
I just set up OM 2.0 employing openjdk-7-jdk in Ubuntu
12.04 and it is running fine so far. I know that usage of
openjdk-6 is discouraged, I'm just wondering if this
applies for openjdk-7 as well, since it isn't mentioned
anywhere.
Are there any known issues / pitfalls using openjdk-7?
Thank you,
Henning
Henning,
If you're talking about all of the recent security-related
problems surrounding Java, I believe they have to do with
the client side. That is, visiting Java-based Web sites
where an exploit lurks. The problem for legitimate
Java-based sites is that visitors may have disabled Java
interaction in their browsers. Someone correct me if I'm
wrong.
Dimitri
