Peter Schuller commented on CASSANDRA-1575:
-------------------------------------------
And I should stress that this will presumably only help normalized build
environments that install build dependencies as required. It doesn't help a
user trying to 'ant build', nor a user trying to 'debuild' and happens to have
other JDK:s installed, but I'm not sure how to address that in a clean fashion.
Maybe add a note under "requirements" in the README?
(I realize this is catering to a very specific platform, but lenny is
presumably pretty common.)

> Key: CASSANDRA-1575
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1575
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Packaging
> Environment: Debian lenny
> Reporter: Peter Schuller
> Assignee: Eric Evans
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.6.6, 0.7.0
>
> Attachments: trunk-1575.txt, Trunk1575Test.java

> I ran into this myself and then today someone was reporting having the same
> problem on IRC; there is a packaging bug in openjdk6 in lenny:
> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501487
> The effect is that when ant tries to download files over SSL, it fails
> complaining about:
> "java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors
> parameter must be non-empty"
> It turns out this works fine with the Sun JVM. I'm attaching a patch which
> makes Cassandra build on both lenny and squeeze; however, I am not sure
> whether other platforms may be negatively affected. The patch just requires
> an openjdk sufficiently new that the lenny openjdk won't quality. If there
> are other platforms where we do want an older openjdk, this patch might break
> that.
> In addition, I removed the "java6-sdk" as a sufficient dependency because
> that resolved to openjdk-6-jdk on lenny.
> I think it's a good idea to consider changing this just to decrease the
> initial threshold of adoption for those trying to build from source.
> So: This does fix the build issue on lenny, and doesn't seem to break
> squeeze, but I cannot promise anything about e.g. ubuntu.
> For the record, I'm also attaching a small self-contained test case which,
> when run, tries to download one of the offending pom files. It can be used to
> easily test weather the SSL download with work with a particular JVM.
