Matthias, I'm not sure I agree with that; there are plenty of Java applications which have no GUI, and which it'd be nice to be able to compile without needing to install all the X stuff. I'm still tooling around with ecj to see if that alone will be suitable for what I'm working on, but if it isn'

I'm going to reject this report; for development, the awt has to be present; as you noted, the runtime doesn't explicitely depend on the X and gtk stuff. -- gcj dependencies seem unreasonable https://launchpad.net/bugs/62483 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists

Versions prior to 4.0.2-3 did not have the hard-dependency of gcj to libgcjX-dev: From the changelog: * Let gcj-4.0 depend on libgcj6-dev, instead of recommending it. This is not necessary for byte-code compilations, but for compilations to native code. For compilations to byte-code, use

Hm. That is tricky, but also really annoying for people who just want to one or two Java components (in our case, we just needed to be able to compile Jing) to use in a server setting. Perhaps a '-nox' package could be provided, similar to what's already done for people who want Emacs in a non-X11

Oops, did not check libgcj7-dev, there the hard-dependency is. But in a way it is in a way logical since gui is one of the features why java got popular (I know, there are a lot of other reasons, but it is). The only sane solution I see at the moment would be, to make a libgcj7-awt-dev (or a libgcj

Gert, I went back and tried 'aptitude install --without-recommends' and still got a huge list of packages, including all the GUI stuff. If I later try to uninstall any of it, I'm told that gcj will be removed as well. -- gcj dependencies seem unreasonable https://launchpad.net/bugs/62483 -- ubu

And to re-emphasize, even if this is because of recommended packages to go with gij, this still shouldn't be the case -- 'apt-get install gcj' should not be saying it needs GTK and Cairo... -- gcj dependencies seem unreasonable https://launchpad.net/bugs/62483 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu

As far as I can see, the GUI-related libraries are installd only as a dependency for libgcj7-awt, the java gui stuff, which, as far as I can see is only a recommondation for gij, not a hard dependency. -- gcj dependencies seem unreasonable https://launchpad.net/bugs/62483 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing
