persiaOOh!  Traffic!  Do we get an announcement soon?06:54
robilad1announcement ... ?06:59
robilad1ah, darn, the thing we spoke about at uds, i completely blended that out.07:02
robilad1sigh.07:02
persiarobilad1: No worries.  You've been busy.  Maybe we can have a meeting for interested parties in a couple weeks, and put together some targets for intrepid?07:05
robilad1yeah, that'd be great!07:16
dholbachrobilad1: it might be worth asking interested parties to add agenda items to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/Meeting07:18
persiaWe have such a page?  That makes it easier :)07:18
persiarobilad1: When is a good day/time for you?07:18
* persia adds some agenda items07:19
dholbachdoko: who has op privileges in this channel?07:20
dholbachit might be worth linking https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam in the topic07:20
robilad1friday & monday work best for me07:20
dholbachrobilad1: do you think you could ask other interested people at Sun for their meeting date/time preferences and to add agenda items to the page?07:21
persiarobilad1: What time (UTC)?  Anything past about 14:00 is late for me.07:21
robilad1dholbach: yes07:21
dholbachrobilad1: gracias :)07:21
dholbachpersia: can you add your name to your agenda items?07:24
persiadholbach: Err.  RIght.  Oops!07:25
dholbachnp :)07:25
robilad1working on the time schedule thingy07:31
robilad1http://www.doodle.ch/fy7xd7hgrd59y7p507:35
robilad1added my times to it07:40
robilad1added the meeting wiki link, too.07:42
robilad1meh, not an op.07:42
robilad1dholbach: I'll send the doodle link around internally, too.07:43
dholbachthanks robilad107:44
robilad1least i can do07:44
persiarobilad1: Do we want to have the meeting here, or in #ubuntu-meeting?07:45
robilad1good question ... could you explain what #ubuntu-meeting does/how it works?07:45
dholbachrobilad1: #ubuntu-meeting is logged and has a meeting bot that can take notes, etc07:46
dholbachit's where meetings happen regularly07:46
robilad1ah, ok, what's the availability schedule?07:47
dholbachif you join it, you can just say  @schedule berlin   and it will tell you the next meetings it knows about07:48
persiarobilad1: It's posted on fridge.ubuntu.com, but it's open much of the time.07:48
robilad1thank you07:48
dholbachit gets data from http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event07:48
robilad1ok. i'd suggest collecting some avilability data, and then going back to see whether #ubuntu-meeting is available, if not we'll do it here.07:51
dholbachsounds good07:52
robilad1ok. changed the description to say #ubuntu-meeting07:53
robilad1on the doodle poll07:53
dholbachthis is going to be great07:54
* robilad1 hugs dholbach07:57
robilad1it will, no worries!07:58
* dholbach hugs robilad1 back :-)07:58
robilad1;)07:58
dholbachwhat do I have to do to make ant-sanity-check happy?08:00
dholbachit complains about not having a valid JAVA_HOME or JAVACMD08:00
dholbachisn't it enough to just install the right package?08:00
persiadholbach: No, you also need to have the right variables set.  This often happens in the build scripts.08:00
dholbachpersia: that sucks08:01
persiaEventually, we won't be so depedent on being able to build against different targets, and the problem will go away (All hail OpenJDK)08:01
dholbachwhat's wrong with  JAVACMD=/usr/bin/java ?08:01
dholbachjust assuming it if it's unset08:02
* persia lacks sufficient backstory08:02
dholbachrobilad1: ^?08:02
dholbachI'm just trying to sponsor a libjibx-java merge - and ant doesn't like me08:03
persiadholbach: You often have to have a large number of the build-dependencies installed locally to build source.  If you can't build source with all the build-dependencies installed, it's a bug.08:04
persiaYou shouldn't have to set variables at sponsoring time.08:04
* dholbach downloads build-deps08:05
* robilad1 passes the ant question to man-di08:05
man-dirobilad1: I'm not here...08:05
dholbach:-)08:05
robilad1the one time I try to delegate ... ;)08:05
* man-di needs to fight against that mobile OS here...08:06
robilad1ouch. good luck!08:06
persiaman-di: Which mobile OS?08:06
robilad1dholbach: /usr/bin/java is a bit too vague08:06
persiarobilad1: Well, it *should* work...08:07
man-didholbach: its a common secret that you need the JDK referenced in JAVA_HOME and ant installed to be able to run clean target for most Java packages08:07
robilad1it could be a too old vm version, that the package couldn't rebuild against if the alternatives point to something else.08:07
* persia thinks it's a bug, but acknowledges that it won't be solved for a while: possibly lenny+1, if we're lucky08:07
man-dipersia: Windows Mobile X08:07
robilad1so yeah, JAVA_HOME it is.08:07
persiaman-di: Ah.  Best of luck.08:07
man-dipersia: its definitely bug, but we ignore it since sarge or so08:08
persiaman-di: Only since then?  I thought it had been ignored since at least potato, if not earlier :)08:08
man-dirobilad1: do you think my last mail about JAM was reasonable enough?08:09
man-dipersia: I was not involved at that time so I dont know. My history books are empty about that time.08:09
persiaman-di: I must admit I don't remember when there was first two JVMs either.08:10
persias/was/were/08:10
robilad1man-di: yeah, i think so08:10
dholbachok... installing all the build-deps inclunding sun-java6-jdk made it happy08:11
robilad1thanks for pushing that conversation forward08:11
robilad1I think you've managed to push alex out on IRC to see where those folks hang out ;)08:11
persiadholbach: Note that you may want to remove them afterwards if you sponsor a few Java things.  Different packages need different sets of dependencies installed to build source.  I recommend building the source in a snapshot chroot for now.08:12
dholbachright08:12
robilad1man-di: what's your feeling, you're getting good feedback back from alex?08:14
robilad1it's kind of hard to judge a conversation on pretty abstract matter just by the content, so ...08:15
dholbachhum - I might have missed parts of the conversation but how do we build stuff on the build daemons that use sun-java6-*?08:16
persiadholbach: You need to tell your chroot you've accepted the license.08:17
man-dirobilad1: the feedback is good. It just shows me that Alex has a totally different background. He thinks like an upstream developer.08:17
dholbachpersia: does soyuz auto-accept it?08:17
man-dirobilad1: robilad1 but thats okay. we will push into the right direction08:17
robilad1man-di: thanks, that's very good to know08:18
man-dirobilad1: its good to have different backgrounds in the conversation as it brings in different views08:19
man-dirobilad1: I just hope that the other people will add their opinions too after RedHat summit08:20
persiadholbach: Yes.  You need to preseed "sun-java6-jdk shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true".  I'm currently hunting the incantation...08:20
robilad1man-di: yeah, me too, and I have a sense that having alex on board of that JSR has turned it around to be a lot more attentive to what we need.08:20
dholbachpersia:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/KnowledgeBase ! :)08:21
robilad1i'm sure they are all enjoying their weeks off after passing the TCK ;)08:21
persiadholbach: Hmm.  That doesn't have it either.08:21
dholbachpersia: it should :)08:22
persiadholbach: The only people I know to know the secret command are wgrant and cjwatson.08:22
persiaslytherin: Just to catch you up, we're planning a meeting, with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/Meeting being the draft agenda.08:48
persiaDid you ever get an answer to your java1.4 issue?08:49
slytherinpersia: Nope. It was only important for batik but hopefully I will be able to upgrade batik to 1.7 in intrepid cycle.08:50
dholbachthanks persia for adding to the knowledgebase09:07
Xsss4hellhi14:30
Xsss4hellI get "Scanner cannot be resolved to a type" although the code is 100000% correct.. it must be somthing with paths.. can somebody help me?14:31

Xsss4hellsudo update-alternatives -s and which path does it need?14:48
Xsss4hell/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun ?14:49
man-diupdate-java-alternatives, not update-alternatives14:50
Xsss4helluse this? sudo update-java-alternatives --set /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun14:51
Xsss4hellor is there another path missing or so14:51
Xsss4hellsorry I never had that problem before. thank you for helping me!14:52
man-di sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun14:53
Xsss4hellwow it worked!14:53
Xsss4hellty soooo much!14:53
Xsss4hellcompiling runs so much faster now :D14:54
