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 RahulSundaram: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Java?action=diff&rev2=90&rev1=89 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The OpenJDK 6 packages, `java-1.6.0-openjdk*`, replace their IcedTea counterparts, `java-1.7.0-icedtea*`. The Fedora 8 IcedTea packages track the unstable OpenJDK 7 branch, whereas the `java-1.6.0-openjdk*` packages track the stable OpenJDK 6 branch. The decision to have OpenJDK 6 replace IcedTea was made for several reasons: - * Sun has replaced most of the encumbrances for which IcedTea was providing replacements. + * Sun has replaced most of the encumbrances for which IcedTea was providing replacements and for rest of the encumbrances, we have merged replacements from the IcedTea project. * IcedTea's mandate is to merge as much as possible with OpenJDK, so the differences between IcedTea and OpenJDK should diminish over time. * OpenJDK 6 is a stable branch, whereas OpenJDK 7 is unstable, and is not expected to ship a stable release until 2009. * Sun has licensed the OpenJDK trademark for use in Fedora. -- Fedora-relnotes-content mailing list Fedora-relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-relnotes-content
