Oh, sure. Feel free to look up the archives.
Different conversation, I guess.
You claimed a official Java implementation wouldn't have issues. OpenJDK
is one.
I expected more from the conformance test. Apparently what fedora ships
as a java 1.6 has different behavior than Sun's 1.6. And if you follow
the conversation in that link I sent
http://n2.nabble.com/Broken-Startup-on-Fedora-9-td640408.html#a640628,
you'll see that the developer describes openjdk as a moving target where
they even have trouble detecting the version/capabilities.
Errr, that blog says it builds... Is it your/fedora's policy that if
something builds you should ship it?
You presume a lot without me saying anything of that as usual. This
discussion was never about shipping anything.

When you don't say what you mean, I have to guess. I thought you were
trying to say that what fedora ships was good enough to use - which is
what my side of the conversation has been about. I'm not convinced.
There is a screenshot showing that it works.
For some very strange definition of 'works'. The article accompanying
it describes parts that don't work.
If you are not even running
a recent release of Fedora, this doesn't affect you anyway. So again a
theoretical discussion which I am not interested in.
I'm also not very interested in a conversation about _why_ it doesn't
work, whether practical or theoretical, and at this point it is clear
that is where running what fedora ships would lead. When I need
something newer than FC6/RHEL5/Centos5 and have some reason to expect it
to work I'll probably try again. In fact, I'd probably have one running
under vmware if I expected even that to work without having to track
non-standard patches. Is that listed on the FAQ these days?
