I may not be as passionate as my brazillians brothers in the above comments, but I totally agree that this is a bad idea. First, there are several cases where OpenJDK doesn't work completely. The most important is the case of Banco do Brasil. Ok, the right thing to do would be run the applet with OpenJDK and send the virtual machine stack to the OpenJDK developers. But even so, the majority of java developers around the world don't test their applications on OpenJDK, so these small problems will surely continue to exist. I have both installed on my system, first I try to use the OpenJDK, but if I can't, it is comfortable to know that I can count on Oracle's VM.
Second reason is that there are easy ways of installing proprietary software that are most restrained than Oracle's Java, the NVIDIA's drivers, for example. I don't if they are in the main repository, but if there's a special menu for installing them, there should be the same facilities for the Oracle Virtual Machine. -- sun-java6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
