the_darkside_986Installing NetBeans has messed up my sun-java6-* installations by replacing things with openjdk. How do I "purify" my installation and still keep NetBeans?04:33
the_darkside_986for example, the java interpreter was replaced by openjdk, which fails miserably trying to run my NetBeans project outside of Netbeans.04:34
persiathe_darkside_986: I seem to remember some issue with NetBeans and sun-java6-*.  I think there was a newer library in OpenJDK that was required (but don't remember the details).04:34
persiaYou might be able to fake it by adjusting the dependencies, but no guarantees it will work.04:35
the_darkside_986that is odd. right now I am reinstalling sun-java6-bin in hopes that the correct java binary executable will be replaced.04:36
* persia thought update-alternatives would be an easier path04:37
the_darkside_986?04:40
the_darkside_986it is still using the wrong executable.04:41
the_darkside_986still i don't see how NetBeans is successfully running this. The correct java must be on the system somewhere.04:43
the_darkside_986ok I found it under /usr/lib/jvm/sun-whatever, but i am afraid to overwrite the openjdk symlink with the "correct" one. is it safe to do that? i mean netbeans has been using Sun's so...04:46
dholbachgood morning07:01
man-didholbach: moin, I hope it was okay to keep you on CC for now07:11
dholbachman-di: sure07:11
man-didholbach: you dont know where doko is lost? I need an upload from him.07:13
dholbachman-di: I hope Benjamin won't back off from the challenges of Java packaging :-)07:14
dholbachman-di: he's in Canada for one reason or the other (forgot)07:14
dholbachman-di: what kind of upload is it?07:14
man-didholbach: do you know what knowledge he has of packaging? did i put too hard stuff into the mail?07:14
man-digcc-defaults upload to Debian to make classpath work again07:15
dholbachman-di: as far as I can see he's very keen, but doesn't have years of packaging experience - he doesn't seem afraid to figure things out07:15
dholbachstudies CS in Berlin07:15
dholbachman-di: sorry, I can't help you with gcc-defaults upload :-/07:16
dholbachman-di: I reckon doko might be up in just a few hours07:16
man-diI know07:16
man-didholbach: so far all people that wanted to provide help vanished when hitting the first problem07:17
man-didholbach: and most people just like to complain instead of doing help07:17
man-didholbach: see launchpad eclipse bug reports07:18
dholbachman-di: I'll push him to ask his questions here07:18
dholbachhe figured out some other packaging problems before07:18
man-didholbach: better in #debian-java on irc.debian.org07:18
robiladdholbach: thanks!11:51
robiladman-di: thanks for the feedback, I agree that we need a single mapping11:52
man-dirobilad: the final packages dont need to be the same, but the way to map is the same11:56
man-dirobilad: different distros have different package name policies11:56
robiladyeah11:58
robiladthat's why I think dholbach's java packaging wiki etc. could be a useful start. with tinuviel's tracking information, etc.11:58
man-dijava packaging wiki? tinuviel's tracking information?12:53
