RStudio only uses Java to compile a series of web components during build time. Then, the requires are clean from Java components, and its usage doesn't invoke the JVM. So it's been identified as a Java app because build-requires java-devel, but it's not really a Java app. > With GWT, I'm afraid you will need to try this approach, as it is to complex framework that any > hacking on this field is really risky.

Future versions will update GWT and we will probably be able to use Java 11.

So I suppose that, beyond fixing the java-devel version in BuildRequires, I don't need to do anything more, right? -- Iñaki Úcar _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to 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/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
