[04:33] Installing NetBeans has messed up my sun-java6-* installations by replacing things with openjdk. How do I "purify" my installation and still keep NetBeans? [04:34] for example, the java interpreter was replaced by openjdk, which fails miserably trying to run my NetBeans project outside of Netbeans. [04:34] the_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). [04:35] You might be able to fake it by adjusting the dependencies, but no guarantees it will work. [04:36] that is odd. right now I am reinstalling sun-java6-bin in hopes that the correct java binary executable will be replaced. [04:37] * persia thought update-alternatives would be an easier path [04:40] ? [04:41] it is still using the wrong executable. [04:43] still i don't see how NetBeans is successfully running this. The correct java must be on the system somewhere. [04:46] ok 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... [07:01] good morning [07:11] dholbach: moin, I hope it was okay to keep you on CC for now [07:11] man-di: sure [07:13] dholbach: you dont know where doko is lost? I need an upload from him. [07:14] man-di: I hope Benjamin won't back off from the challenges of Java packaging :-) [07:14] man-di: he's in Canada for one reason or the other (forgot) [07:14] man-di: what kind of upload is it? [07:14] dholbach: do you know what knowledge he has of packaging? did i put too hard stuff into the mail? [07:15] gcc-defaults upload to Debian to make classpath work again [07:15] man-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 out [07:15] studies CS in Berlin [07:16] man-di: sorry, I can't help you with gcc-defaults upload :-/ [07:16] man-di: I reckon doko might be up in just a few hours [07:16] I know [07:17] dholbach: so far all people that wanted to provide help vanished when hitting the first problem [07:17] dholbach: and most people just like to complain instead of doing help [07:18] dholbach: see launchpad eclipse bug reports [07:18] man-di: I'll push him to ask his questions here [07:18] he figured out some other packaging problems before [07:18] dholbach: better in #debian-java on irc.debian.org [11:51] dholbach: thanks! [11:52] man-di: thanks for the feedback, I agree that we need a single mapping [11:56] robilad: the final packages dont need to be the same, but the way to map is the same [11:56] robilad: different distros have different package name policies [11:58] yeah [11:58] that's why I think dholbach's java packaging wiki etc. could be a useful start. with tinuviel's tracking information, etc. [12:53] java packaging wiki? tinuviel's tracking information? === persia_ is now known as persia
