What happened to get-jre7-oracle?

[viking]

Release notes for ROSA Marathon 2012 have this line:
"OpenJDK is installed by default, but you can install Oracle JRE/JDK with the new helper packages: get-jre6-oracle, get-jre7-oracle, get-jdk6-oracle, and get-jdk7-oracle"

I can not find any of those packages anywhere.

I found some references for get-jre7-oracle on abf, but haven't found rpm anywhere.

I used oracle-java-installer-1.6.0_30-69-mib2011.0.x86_64.rpm to install Java, but I would like to have official Rosa package if possible.

Oh yes, OpenJDK is not installed by default, as stated.

Hi,
I was also searching for those helper packages before finding this thread... Can you tell us how to find it ?

Due to Oracle licensing policy (which changed since the Marathon release notes had been published), the jdk7/jre7 packages are available to direct download from Oracle site only. So the package get-jre7-oracle was removed from ABF.
Please download and install Java7 manually (see the link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... index.html , grab the Java for RPM-based distros ). I'll remove the appropriate lines from ReleaseNotes, thank you for raising the problem.

Unfortunately there is no hope for 7u6 RPMs in Rosa at this moment.

I tried to install JRE and then JDK, but both failed. I also tired both install methods urpmi and rpm.

This is what I got for JRE:

For JDK situations is pretty same, but with more errors (it have more packages).

Only way to install JDK 7u6 is by using bundle with NetBeans (jdk-7u6-nb-7_2-linux-x64-ml.sh)!

The good news is that JRE 7u5 (jre-7u5-linux-x64.rpm form http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en) can be installed with urpmi.

But...

If I go to http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp looks like I do not have java.

It's same if I try to use alternatives --config java

With NetBeans bundle even java -version doesn't work.

Looks like some sym links are missing in both cases.

Looks like the best choice for now is to use oracle-java-installer-1.6.0_30-69-mib2011.0.x86_64.rpm from MIB.

You should try to install native NetBeans, not from repos, but from the http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html + Java from off.site, and try this bundle.

You totally missed the point of my post. Please read more carefully.

I do not need NetBeans at all.

I tried to figure out is it possible to install JDK/JRE 7u6 or JDK/JRE 7u5 in Rosa, and already wrote that is not possible to use packages from Oracle site, and you writing that I should use packages from Oracle site.

From Oracle site

JDK 7u6 (RPM) from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 37583.html
CAN NOT BE INSTALLED AT ALL! (actually it make errors when unpacking some things during rpm install)

JRE 7u6 (RPM) from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 37588.html
CAN NOT BE INSTALLED AT ALL! (actually it make errors when unpacking some things during rpm install)

JDK 7u6 with NetBeans 7.2 (sh) from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 32126.html
CAN BE INSTALLED BUT WORK PARTIALLY! (java doesn't work in browser, java is not in path)

From Java.com

JRE 7u5 (RPM) from
http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en
CAN BE INSTALLED BUT WORK PARTIALLY! (java doesn't work in browser, alternatives doesn't see it)

I hope it's clear now.
