in a production Tomcat environment? I tried this once before a few years ago, and ran into some nasty bugs. Sun's Java, for me, is getting a bit weird, especially on Linux. I never quite know which version to download, each one having at least two or three different numbers associated with it. "That's Java Super Enterprise 6, with SDK version 5, etc"

The latest problem I'm running into is that I'm trying to update to Fedora 6 which uses libstdc++.so.6, and Sun's java insists on version 5. I suppose I could install 5, but I feel that creepy dependency hell feeling coming on when I think about it.

So anyway, is anybody successfully using GNU Java? If not, does anybody have any tips for installing the proper version of Sun's Java on FC6?

Thanks


Personally, I haven't had time to look into this in detail but apparently "JPackage" is the way to go if you want to master the dependencies. It's basically a set or RPMs that installs links to executables and jars/so.libs in the expected (Linux) places, it's not more difficult than that. The nice thing is that you get RPMs for various Java packages, so dependency problems are solved.

If I remember well, the Sun JDK is not well-behaved i.r.t. placing files in a "Linux Standard Way", as opposed to the IBM JDK for
example. Still, there is a "JPackage" package to solve even that.

Check it out: http://www.jpackage.org/
