Mending the Java native library mess before F10

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I was asked to make sure that tanukiwrapper and libreadline-java were up to date for F10.

What I found is that there is no consistent policy for either .so location or .jar location for Java packages in Fedora. Here are some examples:

Library location:

eclipse: /usr/lib64/eclipse
jss: /usr/lib64
libreadline-java: /usr/lib64/libreadline-java
tanukiwrapper: /usr/lib64

Jar location:

eclipse: /usr/lib64/java
jss: /usr/lib/java
libreadline-java: /usr/lib64/libreadline-java
tanukiwrapper: /usr/share/java

I believe that libreadline-java was meant to be the model for the JNI policy, but the problem is that jpackage-utils (build-classpath) does not seem to be updated to work with the new jar location. NB: I tested on F9, so if this has changed, let me know.

We have very little time to do anything about this before the F10 freeze, so I suggest we take the path of least-resistance, e.g., we have to move libreadline-java back since we would not be able to update all the packages and the tools and make sure that they work in time for F10.
