Betelgeuse said in IRC that it should be pretty easy to just ship the JDK instead of the JRE but WITHOUT shipping the usual entry into /etc which lets the build system know that a JDK is available. This lets us run Google Web Toolkit (which ships 32-bit libs, unavoidable presently) natively without all kinds of java-config musical chairs. Thanks! Reproducible: Always vlads@front.ru 2008-09-11 10:11:05 0000 there are no headers for jni, so this package really looks like jre rather then jdk. jieryn@gmail.com 2008-09-11 11:31:16 0000 No tools.jar either, I agree that this is a JRE. I am requesting that we package the JDK instead. I don't want this new emul- package to be a "real" JDK in the Gentoo way though, as having it as an available system vm could cause a lot of pain.. Thanks! serkan@gentoo.org 2008-09-16 20:12:51 0000 I fixed the descriptions in CVS. I'm closing the bug as WONTFIX but feel free to reopen it if you manage to make a emul-linux package for a full JDK. caster@gentoo.org 2008-09-17 12:53:24 0000 Serkan: I think WONTFIX is nor appropriate, ebuild requests should stay open just have enhancement severity. So reopening. And I think we want to limit the usage as a build VM (when emerging java stuff), not as system VM (unless you meant the same and just used wrong word, common mistake :) Heck even the current emul JRE packages can be selected as system VM currently, and there have been no confused bug reports about it yet. serkan@gentoo.org 2009-02-07 13:02:21 0000 *** Bug 217267 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** serkan@gentoo.org 2009-05-30 04:24:33 0000 *** Bug 271798 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** jieryn@gmail.com 2009-11-03 21:01:54 0000 I care about this less and less since GWT no longer requires a 32-bit JDK, this is since the GWT-2.0 milestone # 1 (we're now on ms-2). The bug has been open for over a year with no movement, I suggest closing it.
