Bug 91849 – Azureus 2.3 and later should depend on java >=1.5

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED LATER

[Description Leif Sandstede 2005-05-07 19:35:17 UTC]

Azureus works with java 1.4.2 too, but it runs better with the newer java vm.
The plugin installation for example is not working with the older vm.
So future versions should have >=virtual/jre-1.5 dependency

mmhh I think it is about time to move to the newer version of java anyway...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

The 1.5 jre is now unmasked so azureus-bin can RDEPEND on that. The 1.5 jdk is still not safe to use so the from sources version needs to wait.

i don't like the idea to depend on 1.5, if azureus works (almost) just fine with 
previous versions. additionally - java-1.5 is not in the tree yet (well - at 
least not in full meaning of "being in a tree";>).
i've however checked on azureus webpage and found out, that java-1.5 fixes some 
issues in some environments. i think the best, what i can do with that is to add 
einfo about recommended java version in azureus's ebuild and close this bug with 
resolution LATER

As I already said the sun-jre-bin-1.5* has been unmasked for a long while. It is
just the jdk that is still package.masked. We are already testing the solution
needed for unmasking the 1.5 jdk but it will still take time. But we indeed
should not lock users to 1.5 when azureus indeed works with earlier versions.
