| === doko_ is now known as doko | ||
| jamespage | doko: around to talk UDS-O/Java related stuff? | 14:52 |
|---|---|---|
| doko | jamespage: sure | 15:03 |
| doko | maven3? | 15:04 |
| jamespage | well that's one of the things on my list :-) | 15:04 |
| jamespage | so I did think about raising a general housekeeping spec; but decided not to as I don't think thats really relevant for discussion at UDS this time | 15:05 |
| jamespage | however maven2/3 and where it currently sits in the Ubuntu archive probably is. | 15:05 |
| jamespage | I've started to see a bit of a trend for libraries that had been transferred to ant based builds now shifting back to maven based build | 15:06 |
| jamespage | the maven-deb-helper package is now pretty good and I think its actually easier to package maven based projects than ant ones now :-) | 15:06 |
| jamespage | Maven3 looks like it is still a little way off in Debian; i.e. discussion and some ITP's but not much progress yet (as far a I can make out) | 15:07 |
| doko | my other topics for java would be the java arm status (Xerces RAngby and Robert Lougher are at UDS), and openjdk-7 | 15:07 |
| jamespage | sounds good; OpenJDK 7 is due to lang mid year? | 15:08 |
| jamespage | should bring some good features (aside from the fact that they dropped Jigsaw :-() | 15:10 |
| jamespage | doko: so my other topic was around JOnAS and OpenJDK compatibility | 15:11 |
| jamespage | doko: not sure whether you have had a change to sign-up with ow2 so we can actually see what the issues are? | 15:12 |
| jamespage | (my paperwork is in the post somewhere~) | 15:12 |
| doko | ow2? | 15:12 |
| doko | right, but I'm not yet sure about a default change to openjdk-7 | 15:12 |
| doko | I assume that would need a rebuild | 15:13 |
| doko | test | 15:13 |
| jamespage | ow2: http://www.ow2.org/ | 15:13 |
| jamespage | agree on probably not switching default openjdk for 11.10 - might make sense in 12.04 once upstream project have had a chance to catchup | 15:14 |
| jamespage | doko: the other consideration is that Java is not source backwards compatible; although binaries should continue to work | 15:18 |
| jamespage | this just does not play nicely from a supportability perspective | 15:19 |
| doko | right, so we should find out what ftbfs | 15:19 |
| jamespage | well that would be a good start :-) | 15:19 |
| doko | otoh, even openjdk zero/shark currently is broken | 15:19 |
| jamespage | doko: so are you intending to run sessions for the two topics you suggested? | 15:21 |
| doko | arm, yes, 7? maybe that could be part of a general java planning session | 15:22 |
| jamespage | doko: OK - I'll raise a general Java spec for housekeeping, maven and openjdk 7 as they look like the fit together nicely | 15:23 |
| doko | ok, shouldn't take more time | 15:24 |
| jamespage | ack | 15:24 |
| jamespage | so with regards to the JOnAS session; OK if I subscribe you to it as essential as I think a good part of the conversation is going to be about JDK compatibility | 15:25 |
| doko | sure | 15:33 |
| doko | but I can't promise to have information for compatibility until uds | 15:33 |
| jamespage | thanks | 15:41 |
