Hi all,
we should ship on OSGeo-Live OpenJUMP 1.5, the plus version, with ECW libraries
activated

Andre, Even, Jody,
Thank you for your insights.
Based on your advice, it sounds like it will be unwise to try to
migrate all java based OSGeo applications to OpenJDK by our
OSGeo-Live5.5 release due in March 2012.
As such, I propose that Sun Java be included on OSGeo-Live5.5.
I'm hopeful that we can find enough space to include OpenJDK,
(ideally version 7) on this and future OSGeo-Live releases, and
start moving all applications across to OpenJDK as soon as they are
available. This will mean that the OSGeo-Live community can be drawn
upon to help with testing which hopefully can be seen as a positive
for java projects.
Does this sound reasonable?
Alex, it would be great if you could start the build process so that
we can determine whether we can find sufficient space to include 2
versions of java on OSGeo-Live.

Questions for Geotools developers:
1. Do geotools based applications work on OpenJDK now?
Not sure; even if they did without a build box configured with OpenJDK to
ensure the library works in that environment it would not be considered a
supported platform for production use. I always figure demo is almost more
important then production use as it is a first impression.
By the same token I would not recommend projects based on GeoTools go live on
OpenJDK without appropriate testing.
Perhaps the Geomajas guys could stand up a build box with OpenJDK?Â
2. Is it possible to migrate geotools based applications to OpenJDK?
Yes; would required volunteer time; hardware to run a nightly build with that
configuration and so on. I recently lost two weeks to a build box at my
current work site that was incorrectly configured to use OpenJDK rather than
Java 6.Â
3. Can such migration happen before Feb 2012 (for OSGeo-Live 5.5)?
We can help with testing packaged applications, but are
looking for guidance from projects on where we should be
focusing our energy.
I do not think so; we would need hardware in place now.
Our developers are an even split between mac, linux and windows environments.
As I understand it mac OpenJDK is not ready yet (with no sign of arrival);
windows is troubled.Â
I would wait for OpenJDK Java 7 to be released; and then set up a build box at
that time.

An easy one is to add the extensions into libs/ext and then run uDig without
its jre folder so it uses the system default.
Geosolutions (i.e. Simone or Andrea) is the best point of contact with
respect to compatibility with OpenJDK. Personally I was not going to bother
until Java 7 or Java 8.
You could also try talking to Andrea Antonello who at least uses Linux and
may be able to test?
If you want you can also contact me officially as GeoTools Officer and I
will take the question to the geotools-devel email list for you. However I
expect I need a more than Open JDK (this page for example does not give me
much to work from http://openjdk.java.net/install/).

Jody and others,
Do you know if anyone has tested the
viability of using OpenJDK with
JAI/ImageIO/ImageIO-EXT (with the geotools
based applications)?
What would be involved in testing this? Who
would know how?

Need to check out how well or poorly OpenJDK does with the JAI / ImageIO /
