Some of the Java problems are upstream. I've been sending patches to vendors for patching their package deployments to cooperate with Fedora and Red Hat since.....I published hooks to get Sun JDK to fit into JPackage in 2013, and last submitted patches to a Java vendor to fix Fedora and RHEL integration 2 months ago. I can't even get them to *name the RPM file the same thing as the installed RPM*, a mistake Sun was doing since they first published an RPM and which I considered a sign of why people gave up on their Java, and one repeated by several Java publishers for no rational reason. OpenJDK has been a very effective replacement for commercial Javas, and at least one vendor, Azul, provides commercial support for a repackaged OpenJDK referred to as "Zulu JDK". Perhaps Azul developers or packagers could be encouraged to participate in a Java SIG? Does anyone have personal contact with them? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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@lists.fedoraproject.org
