Status in openjdk-7 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Problem Description ======================================= OpenJdk 7 and OpenJdk 8 miss report the os.arch field and cause java apps to crash. When we run under OpenJDK on a ubuntu ppc64el system the os.arch system properites gets reported as ppc64. This causes multiple java libraries to load the wrong native architecture modules as it thinks this is a big endian machine, rather than a ppc64le machine. ---uname output--- Linux tulgpu002 3.16.0-30-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 12 22:07:11 UTC 2015 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux Machine Type = 8247-42L Steps to Reproduce =================================================== make sure an openjdk is installed. sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk Create a very simple java properties dumper. cat >sysprop.java <<EOF class sysprop{ public static void main(String[] args){ System.getProperties().list(System.out); } } EOF and run it and look for the os.arch output. javac sysprop.java ralphbel@tulgpu002:~/java$ java sysprop | grep arch os.arch=ppc64 sun.arch.data.model=64 == Comment: #2 - Ralph E. Bellofatto <[email protected]> - 2015-03-17 05:39:29 == Acutally this is ubuntu 14.10. ralphbel@tulgpu002:~/java$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.10 Release: 14.10 Codename: utopic I suspect this problem also exists on the ubuntu 14.04 releases although we have not tried that yet... == Comment: #3 - Ralph E. Bellofatto <[email protected]> - 2015-03-17 05:51:04 == more information on the package we are using: ralphbel@tulgpu002:~/jnr-ffi$ apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jdk: Installed: 7u75-2.5.4-1~utopic1 and ralphbel@tulgpu002:~/jnr-ffi$ apt-cache policy openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jdk: Installed: 8u40~b09-1 == Comment: #4 - Ralph E. Bellofatto <[email protected]> - 2015-03-18 15:04:51 == This is an interesting comment in the openJDK bugs database: **************************** https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8073139 **************************** apparently there was a decision to NOT give the architecture a unique name, and that is inconstant with other JDK/JRE's, and it breaks a LOT of code.
