In Germany the saying is "Radio Eriwan, it depends … „ OpenJDK packages in Fedora are designed in such a way that several versions can be installed at the same time without any problems and can also be used in parallel without any restrictions or obstacles. This is practical or sometimes necessary if older Java programs do not get along with newer OpenJDK versions or are simply not tested. Java is "Enterprise grade" and designed for long term and error free use. This distinguishes Java from some other programming languages, where version jumps are again and again for impairments and malfunctions of existing programs. You use 'updates-alternatives --config java' to set the default version. By configuration in /etc/sysconfig you can set a specific version for individual Java programs (or adjusting their main class path). So, if all your Java programs are running with JDK X you can remove the other versions. But many SysAdmins keep for convenience at least the JRE of all supported LTS versions and the JDK as far as it is needed for development or testing. -- Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy p...@fedoraproject.org Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST /UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora Docs team contributor and board member Java developer and enthusiast _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
