[17:13] <jamespage> doko: around? I have an openjdk question about 'overlays'
[17:17] <doko> I assume that will be an IcedTea question ...
[17:39] <jamespage> doko: I think so
[17:40] <jamespage> so this relates to bug 800082
[17:40] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 800082 in batik "FTBFS against openjdk-6 6b23 due to internal Sun API changes." [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/800082
[17:40] <jamespage> I came across this when I was looking at the last couple of packages for the fop MIR
[17:41] <jamespage> both xmgraphics-commons and batik make use of internal sun API's
[17:42] <jamespage> looking at the changes in 6b23 one of the exceptions in that API is no longer a runtime exception; which breaks the builds for those two packages.
[17:42] <jamespage> doko: I wanted to understand why that change had been made (I could not trace it back through IcedTea)
[17:43] <jamespage> and discuss where to 'fix' the issue; I can patch both libraries to make then behave but wanted to talk with you first.
[17:44] <doko> hmm, strange. because it's still the 6b22 tarball afaics
[17:44] <jamespage> yeah - I found the switch in the overlay directory
[17:44] <doko> best to ask on the ML. can you track down, who made the change?
[17:46] <jamespage> thats the bit I was looking for a bit of guidance on - not that familiar either with the packaging or the project around icedtea
[17:48] <doko> the list is distro-pkg-dev@openjdk.java.net
[17:48] <doko> changeset:   2551:8720a7df46e3
[17:48] <doko> Added basic support for using JPEGCodec to encode and decode jpeg files.
[17:50] <jamespage> great - thanks for the pointers - I'll get on to it

[17:54] <doko> that's all I can find for now
[17:55] <doko> jamespage: I assume you have to subscribe to the list to post
[20:02] <dimas_> is this only to talk about developing java application on ubuntu or may i ask about something else?
[20:03] <dimas_> cause i am interest in learning to develope applications for java mobiles
