then again, I did install the jpackage too and was able to integrate it without any fuss but again, this was on EL not Fedora. The implementation path is now well understood and I installed the same JDK/Jpackage for my Fedora 8 desktop since I do Ruby on Rails development on my desktop and run the Ruby-Java-Bridge there. It workee nicely.
I did it that way on CentOS4, but couldn't find jpackage repositories for EL5, or fedora 7 or 8. Are those hidden somewhere?
---- yeah, it's a bear to have to 'yum install java-1.6.0-sun-compat' ;-)
I think you omitted a step or three here. If that worked out of the box on fedora or centos I wouldn't have a complaint. But on an FC6, "yum search sun-compat" says No Matches found.
---- No, Apple has perfected the notion of re-selling you the same software over and over again, ahem, Leopard, iWork and my current favorite story of Apple saying FU to their customers...BootCamp (we told you all along it was Beta...too bad it expired and now you have to pay to upgrade).
At least you can pay them and get what you want (and time machine is kind of cute). With Linux they just say you can't ever have it (zfs) or you install dozens and dozens of kernels hoping one will finally work (firewire, etc.).
