It probably would, but I'm not aware of any existing change proposal to switch default OpenJDK versions in Fedora. > E.g. would the dependent OpenJDK 8 packages still build in stable releases if > this change is done globally and for example if Ursa Major/Prime/... is activated? Changing underlying OpenJDK version of maven:3.6 module doesn't change anything with regards to building other packages. Right now nothing build-depends on maven:3.6 module. And if Ursa-Major were enabled in Fedora, most of ursine Java packages would become FTBFS anyway as maven modules are not capable of building packages with. See below for more details. Since always Maven in Fedora was available in 2 flavors, each having different purposes. "maven" module provides Maven application for end users. This is pure upstream Maven that doesn't "know" how to access libraries packaged as RPMs and included in Fedora. Therefore it is mostly useless for building packages with and I am not aware of any package in Fedora being built with this pure Maven. For purposes of building packages "javapackages-tools" module is available - it provides XMvn - Maven with extensions that enable it to be used for building packages. It also provides RPM macros and other necessary tools which are not available in "maven". -- Mikolaj Izdebski _______________________________________________ java-devel mailing list -- java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to java-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
