We would love to run with a fully free JDK, but so far it just hasn't been possible. OpenNMS has historically needed a real Sun JDK, or an equivalent real Sun-derived JDK on platforms where Sun does not distribute one. Over the years people have tried Kaffe / GCJ / GIJ / IcedTea JDKs, but they have never measured up. Some lack features necessary to bootstrap OpenNMS, others just aren't robust enough to run OpenNMS at any real-world scale. So for now, stick with the Sun JDK. You're welcome to edit OPENNMS_HOME/etc/java.conf after running runjava -s and see what happens, but it's not likely to be pretty -- if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces :) -jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
