IcedTea - a first step towards OpenJDK

java-programmer, IcedTea - a first step towards OpenJDK IcedTea is a temporary fork of OpenJDK which allows building with a free
toolchain and adding/replacing code which is not yet available under a free
license. First deb Packages for amd64 and i386 are available at

deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/ubuntu/ gutsy/
deb-src http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/ubuntu/ gutsy/

Although the packages are built on gutsy, they are installable on sid as well.
These packages target developers only. Feedback about the following topics is
appreciated:

- packaging and installation issues; the packaging is derived from the
sun-javaX packages, so the packages do have the same "features" and
bugs.

- license issues; we currently cannot upload the packages, because some
files still have non-free or no licenses. Unfortunately there doesn't
exist yet a list of problematic files.

- usability; do packages and applications build and run with the new
jre and jdk (focus on main)?

Please contact Michael Koch or me if you do want to join the packaging and
maintainance effort. Thanks for any input.

Unfortunately while the binary may be installable on sid the source doesn't seem to be buildable on it.

firstly I needed to do some tweaks to build-deps were needed to provide
alternatives to ubuntu only packages. I added xbase-clients as an alternative
for xprop and libxul-dev as an alternative for firefox-dev. wget was also missing from the build-deps.

However even with those things fixed it still doesn't build for me, in a 64 bit chroot on a 64 bit box and a 32 bit chroot on a 32 bit box I get the following errors

nowarn is not a command I know to compile java sources ;-)

An envirronment variable has been badly configured, it shoud be something like:

java -nowarn ...

ok, except wget should not be part of the b-d's, if the zip file already exists.

ok, please install ecj by hand; that may be the dependency error (ecj-gcj not
depending on ecj).

did you set the 32bit personality before entering the chroot? If not try to use
schroot which does this for you (if correctly configured).

The configure script checks for it and errors if it is not there.

ok that seems to fix the 64 on 64 case. The 32 on 32 case is still
building (my 32 bit box isn't very fast)

no, I've never had to for building debian packages before and i've no
idea how to do it either. I really would rather avoid switching to a
soloution like schroot if I can. Is there a way I can set it manually?
(googling for linux kernel personality brought up mostly info on the
linux compatibility features in sco unix)

well, this is wrong, you are lacking the correct libraries. see linux32(1) for
the personality thing.

I've attatched a new debian/rules with a check added so it errors out early and with instructions on what to do if it detects someone trying to build in a i386 chrot on an amd64 system without switching personality.

I have also discovered that the plugin package that icedtea builds is
uninstallable if the plugin directories don't exist (which will happen
unless the user has every supported browser installed), a new postinst
that fixes this issue is attatched.

I don't like that one; this really is a setup issue of your chroot, it doesn't
belong into the package.

please send diffs instead of complete files; this is fixed for the next snapshot
package.

I've installed icedtea-java7-plugin and in /etc/alternatives/ and I've
found:
mozilla-javaplugin.so
-> /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea/jre/plugin/i386/gcjwebplugin.so
that does not exist. The proper plugin's location is:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea/jre/lib/i386/gcjwebplugin.so
