Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by KarstenWade: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Java?action=diff&rev2=89&rev1=88 The comment on the change is: useful comment for testers, worth including and making sure it is in the release notes for Preview Release despite arriving after the content freeze ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IcedTea continues to provide autotools support ({{{autoconf}}}, {{{automake}}}, {{{libtool}}}, and so on), a portable interpreter for PowerPC and 64-bit PowerPC architectures, plugin support, Web Start support, and patches to integrate OpenJDK into Fedora. The IcedTea sources are included in the `java-1.6.0-openjdk` SRPM. + If IcedTea is already installed, the package changeover does not happen automatically. The packages related to IcedTea based on OpenJDK 7 must first be erased, then the new OpenJDK 6 packages installed. + + {{{ + su -c "yum erase java-1.7.0-icedtea{,-plugin}" + su -c "yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk{,-plugin}" + }}} + === Handling Java Applets === Upstream OpenJDK does not provide a plugin. The Fedora OpenJDK packages include an adaptation of `gcjwebplugin`, that runs untrusted applets safely in a Web browser. The plugin is packaged as `java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin`. -- Fedora-relnotes-content mailing list Fedora-relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-relnotes-content
