Apache TomEE rpms
by David Blevins 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

Hello Fedora/Java people, First post to the list, so hello! We've crafted up some RPMs for Apache TomEE and are looking to contribute them to Fedora if at all possible. * http://dl.bintray.com/hgomez/devops-incubator-rpm/tomee-jaxrs-1.5.2-1.noarc… * http://dl.bintray.com/hgomez/devops-incubator-rpm/tomee-webprofile-1.5.2-1.… * http://dl.bintray.com/hgomez/devops-incubator-rpm/tomee-plus-1.5.2-1.noarch… I haven't much of an idea on what the process for this might be. Dan Allen (RedHat) pointed us this way. Hoping someone here might have insight, even if that is some other list. -David

Eclipse Luna on Fedora 21 and JDK 8 requirement
by Sudhir Khanger 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hello, I have just upgraded to Fedora 21. There is only OpenJDK 8 on F21. I need Oracle JDK 7 for Android Development so I have set that as my system default so that I can use it with Android Studio too. Eclipse Luna crashes with JDK 7. As per this bug report [1] Eclipse Luna requires Java 8 on F21. Upstream Eclipse Luna requires JDK 7 or above. How can I use Eclipse Luna on F21 with Oracle JDK 7 as default?

by Mikolaj Izdebski 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Next week I am going to update qdox to upstream version 2.0-M2 in rawhide (f22). Current version in rawhide is 1.12.1. List of packages that depend or build-depend on qdox and therefore are possibly affected by this update follows. annogen fop hamcrest hamcrest12 jboss-logmanager jibx jing-trang maven-javadoc-plugin maven-plugin-tools paranamer plexus-cdc plexus-containers plexus-digest xbean -- Mikolaj Izdebski Software Engineer, Red Hat IRC: mizdebsk

Eclipse Luna on Fedora 21 and JDK 8 requirement

You know it's always a matter of "who will do the work?". I'm pretty sure that if someone jumps in and say "Hey, I'll maintain Java 6, fix problems/adopt Java 6 to changes in the OS if neeeded, help strengthen the switching between JREs, go through the Java projects(shipped in Fedora) and help them properly set their targets in build scripts so builds properly work on Java 6 and etc" there will be no objection to having Java 6. :) I installed JDK 7 but Eclipse won't work with JDK 7 on F21 [1]. Why does it require explicitly OpenJDK 8? Can we not have it search Java on system? On Arch Linux, packages search for java-environment or java-environment >= 7? Do I have to build Eclipse myself if I want to use JDK 7?

I am running it under Java 8. So far without any visible problems. I am curious about what has been modified/changed in Fedora 21 to warrant requirement of Java 8. And if I want to run Eclipse or Android Studio under Java 7 what would I have to do. Mostly for academic purposes. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com, github.com/donniezazen, 5577 8CDB A059 085D 1D60 807F 8C00 45D9 F5EF C394.

Figure out feature from package name
by Sudhir Khanger 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hello, Android bundle ships Eclipse Juno which is really old and buggy. I would like to use latest Eclipse shipped by Fedora. And I would like to install packages that resemble Android bundle as closely as possible. Besides ADT, Android bundle Eclipse provides following features. Eclipse.org 1. Eclipse Platform - org.eclipse.platform 2. Eclipse RCP - org.eclipse.rcp 3. Help System Base - org.eclipse.help Eclipse Modeling Project 1. EMF Common - org.eclipse.emf.common 2. EMF Ecore - org.eclipse.emf.ecore Eclipse CDT 1. Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools - org.eclipse.cdt 2. GDB Common - org.eclipse.cdt.gdb Eclipse EGit 1. Git Team Provider - org.eclipse.egit 2. Git Team Provider - org.eclipse.egit.import Eclipse JGit - JGit Core - org.eclipse.jgit How do I figure out what packages provide these features? Yum info or rpm -qi have not been very useful. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com, github.com/donniezazen, 5577 8CDB A059 085D 1D60 807F 8C00 45D9 F5EF C394.

by Mario Torre 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

We are pleased to announce the Call for Participation in the FOSDEM 2015 Free Java DevRoom! This marks the 12th year that the Free Java DevRoom has been a part of FOSDEM, and also marks 20 years of Java! This year FOSDEM Free Java DevRoom will be 31 January & 1 February 2015 in Brussels, Belgium, with usual additional events and meetings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday; please, refer to the FOSDEM website for the schedule of the whole event: https://fosdem.org/2015/ The Free Java DevRoom has become unique in that it has attracted hackers from very different Free Software Java projects, giving the opportunity to bring together companies of various sizes, different project communities, mainstream core Java developers, alternative Java language implementations and runtimes, and everything that form the Free Java Universe, everybody participating to share their knowledge in an atmosphere of cooperation and friendly competition. It has been a long journey so far, exciting and fun, and hard at times. But together we have made it, and Java today more than ever can count on a dynamic and vibrant Community, innovation due to participation, and a user base that is continually growing. We won't sit and rest on the paved road we built, though! We are eager to contribute to the next "20 years of excellence", and we want you to be part of it! As always, check out our wiki for more details on the conference: http://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2015/Fosdem And join the Free Java DevoRoom mailing list [java-devroom at lists.fosdem.org]: https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/java-devroom *** IMPORTANT *** Fosdem organisers have expressed the desire to record everything, and we will do our best to record the sessions by default. If you wish to NOT be recorded please write clearly so in the proposal. Please submit one (or more) 25 minute talk proposal(s) by the 1st of December 2014, 23.59 CET on the mailing list. We will also select a small number of 45 minutes talk. If you wish to submit a 45 minutes talk please state this in the proposal, all proposals will be considered to be of 25 minute by default otherwise.

My wishes for Java: No more GTK2
by Mickael Istria 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hi all, Note that I'm not a C developer so I don't feel able to provide any patch to OpenJDK, that's why I send this mail to hopefully motivate some more competent people to solve some issues we have ;) In the context of development of Eclipse/SWT-based applications, I'd like to share with you one of the issues we have currently. It's about SWT vs JavaFX and GTK3 vs GTK2. SWT and JavaFX can theorically live together in the same application ( http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/swt_interoperability/jfxpub-swt_interoperab… ). This is interesting because JavaFX provide a nice WebView, which we could embed in Eclipse as an alternative/complement to invoking XulRunner or Webkit wrapper when rendering web pages in Eclipse. However, SWT is moving to GTK3 whereas JavaFX is still stuck on GTK2. So both can't coexist properly in the same application. Apparently, only the fx-glass module needs update, so it doesn't seem to be a too difficult task to change code to use GTK3 instead of GTK2. However, in this message https://www.mail-archive.com/openjfx-dev@openjdk.java.net/msg05966.html , it's said that JavaFX can't move to GTK3 because the Swing/AWT part is also linked to GTK2, and since both are shipped together, it doesn't make sense to introduce inconsistency between different JVM "modules". So it seems like if we want to align JavaFX on GTK3, it also requires to move AWT to GTK3. Do any of you have already investigated those issues? Does anyone already has plan to provide fixes for that?

Provides/Obsoletes for jakarta-commons-* removed
by Mikolaj Izdebski 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

I have removed legacy provides/obsoletes from a bunch of Apache Commons packages in rawhide. If your package still requires some jakarta-commons-* (except jakarta-commons-httpclient) then you should change that requirement to apache-commons-*. Obsoletes and provides from the following packages were removed: apache-commons-beanutils apache-commons-codec apache-commons-collections apache-commons-compress apache-commons-configuration apache-commons-daemon apache-commons-dbcp apache-commons-digester apache-commons-discovery apache-commons-el apache-commons-fileupload apache-commons-io apache-commons-jxpath apache-commons-net apache-commons-pool jakarta-commons-httpclient Let me know if there are any problems. -- Mikolaj Izdebski Software Engineer, Red Hat IRC: mizdebsk
