Angelos,
I would usually fully agree with your point of sticking with the stable
default version of an application, but in this case, I think that we
should be doing our best to move all applications to openjdk7.
This is because there are many of our java based applications which
apparently will not work with openjdk6, but will likely work with openjdk7.
I assume the other java apps will work with openjdk7, one we work out
packaging dependencies.

So here is my first impression with openjdk7:
Some packages are packaged as deb files and recommend openjdk6 since
they are build against that default version in 12.04 (eg gvsig).
Others require openjdk6 (eg atlastyler) and apt-get installs it in
order to fulfill the dependencies.
So basically until all deb files involved here are built against
openjdk7 in Launchpad, we will be getting both versions installed in
the disk.
Basically this would require a lot of effort from packagers and I am
not sure that the projects would like to have a version upstream that
uses a Java version that is not the default of the OS. The golden rule
in packaging is to try to offer users default versions of dependencies...

Hi,
I am planning to do an alpha3 this weekend.
It would be great to have iso creation in this test too.

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?

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
