openjdk-6 and openjdk-7 multiarch installable
 

openjdk-6 and openjdk-7 are now multiarch installable, unfortunately only on
distributions having a dpkg supporting these (Ubuntu natty and oneiric). So you
can have now both a i386 and amd64 jvm installed on amd64, and you could install
the i386 jitted jvm on ia64. It is implemented by having the jvm installed into


/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.X.0-<deb-arch>

Different directories per architecture are currently necessary:

- the timestamps in jar files differ (Fedora did solve this by
repackaging the all jar files and resetting the timestamps for
every file, so that the jar files are the same across archs).

- some jar files differ, most notably rt.jar (does somebody want
to address this issue?)

- the wrappers are architecture dependent.

The path /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk isn't valid anymore. It currently only
contains common jar files. The config file /etc/java-6-openjdk/nss.cfg is gone,
and replaced by nss-<arch>.cfg. I plan to add the symlink
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk to the default-jre-headless package (this is not
multiarch installable anyway).

which path should we use now if we want to use openjdk-6 explicitely?

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk is the answer? I believe
that we will see some FTBFS problems. But maybe that it might a good
reason the switch to default-java.

FYI, I just did that for Scilab itself...
I agree with you we could all switch to it.
With Java 7, it could be the right move to add this into the policy...

openjdk-6-jre-headless now doesn't use java-6-openjdk anymore. so with the
appropriate conflicts, this symlink can be moved to default-jre-headless.

Now, in unstable, we didn't have /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/ symlink or
directory anymore. What's current plan ? Reintroduce this symlink with
default-jdk package ?

During build, it's work fine to use something like this :
JAVA_HOME := $(firstword $(wildcard /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-
openjdk-$(DEB_HOST_ARCH) /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk))
to handle both multi-arch and single-arch openjdk..

But for runtime, it's a bit more complicated :
- how to handle this switch in a init.d script (without depending on dpkg-dev)
?
- how to handle this in an /etc/default/file ?

Currently, what I am doing now is to add "default-jre-headless" as
dependency and using /usr/lib/jvm/default-java as path.
I know this will probably fail on some archs but I found it easy and not
that dirty.

Anyway, I think we should come up with a better solution... (probably as
a symlink as you suggest).

I do not think that this is a good solution. IMHO openjdk-6 should
build a package with the generic symlink. As an alternative: would it
be possible to provide an almost generic symlink? Something like
java-6-openjdk-32 or java-6-openjdk-64 depending on architecture?

Cheers,
Torsten
