Frank,
I've be very keen to hear your feedback after you try
osgeo-live-6.0alpha3, which I understand Angelos is going to build with
OpenJDK 7 (instead of OpenJDK 6).
I think our biggest challenge for this 6.0 release of OSGeo-Live will be
to see if we can get the Geotools based java applications working with
OpenJDK 7.
Angelos,
Do you plan to build an alpha3 release soon?

All right. I just tested it on the 5.5 Release and it fails, because of missing
javax.media.jai.JAI
class. The rendering sub-system requires the Java advanced imaging and
I guess there is no port for openjdk jet.
Because this exception is thrown from a geotools renderer class all
installations that requires geotools would fail. Could anybody confirm
my point of view?
Cheers,
Frank

Brian,
please note, that uDig is shipped and installed with its own JRE. To
verify which JRE is used open the "About uDig" Dialog in the launched
Application (Menu -> Help -> About uDig". In the opened Dialog you
will find a "installation Details" Buttown left below, hit it and
switch afterwards to the "Configuration" tab.
For the uDig installation (1.2.2) you will see something like this:
java.home=/usr/lib/udig/jre
java.runtime.version=1.6.0_25-b06
To test against the installed JRE please go through:
* goto /usr/lib/udig with terminal/shell (cd /usr/lib/udig)
* type "sudo mv jre jreXXX" and type the password afterwards (user)
* start uDig again
and in the same About Dialog mentioned above you will see
java.home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk (or something like this, but
not the bundled JRE from /usr/lib/udig)
Start testing the Walkthrough to verify everything is fine:

Hi All-
you know that GeoTools and the Java apps are very important to this disk..
I personally want to get this resolved the best way it can. I also am not a
Java dev,
so I am missing a lot of the details under the surface... however
I just micro tested uDig on the Live build Alpha 2.. all I tried was two
things..
Open a shape file, and open a TIF file.. and it worked fine !
openJDK-6
so there may be more going on, but it appears to me that we may be able to
get
away with openJDK-6. Maybe 7 too..
best regards from Berkeley, California
