Sorry, was sent to the wrong address. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: #897945 still present/breaks with Java 8 Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2019 11:40:42 +0200 From: Per Lundberg <per.lundb...@hibox.tv> To: 897...@bugs.debian.org CC: pkg-java-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org, Markus Koschany <a...@debian.org>
FWIW, version 1.4.2-1 works correctly with openjdk-11-jdk version 11.0.2+7-1, but it _does not_ work correct any more with Java 8 (openjdk-8-jdk version 8u191-b12-2) This worked correctly with 1.3.9-1 after downgrading the libnb-*-java packages as suggested by Ben - visualvm worked fine on Java 8 with this combination of packages. So, we should either: - Reopen the bug and fix the problem (likely by compiling visualvm with openjdk-8, which should make it work on newer JDK versions also) - Accept the breakage and indicate this somehow, preferably in the package metadata. (I don't know if we can use dpkg dependencies in this case? It's perfectly legal to have both OpenJDK 11 and 8 _installed_ on a machine; it's just that the latter is unusable with visualvm from now on.) Because the resolution here is not perfectly clear, I will refrain from just reopening the bug until it has been discussed a bit more. Best regards, -- Per
