[jira] [Commented] (WHIRR-454) Change install_java implementation
(sun-java-6 will be removed from Ubuntu partner repositories)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-454?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13189833#comment-13189833 ]
Karel Vervaeke commented on WHIRR-454:
--------------------------------------
Small update on this bit of news: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/canonical-reverse-java-uninstall-decision/
>From the article:
Sun JDK packages will be removed from the Ubuntu partner archive on February 16th 2012 [...] Ubuntu users who don’t rely on the official package are being urged to swap over to alternatives, such as the Oracle-endorsed OpenJDK.
For now, I'll see if it works with the openjdk-6-jdk package and report how that goes.
