#2626: JDK 6 Update 10/IcedTea ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: willimm | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.4 Component: BOOK | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
IcedTea is an auto-tooled build harness for OpenJDK with additional code to replace the binary plugs (including a browser plug-in and WebStart implementation that are currently not a part of OpenJDK). Unfortunately, several web apps are broken by the liveconnect plugin, however, it is today 1000 times better than it was at the last release point (just a few weeks ago). I follow development closely, though I haven't built it in the past few weeks. I'll give it a full testing once OpenJDK b14 is available. Hopefully we'll see a 1.4 release against b14 soon (b14 is in the wraps). At any rate, judging by the latest test results, IcedTea6 today will probably work fine as a dependency in BLFS, but the browser plug-in is the big stickler ATM. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2626#comment:1> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
