It includes tools for developing, +testing, and running programs written in Java. + +apache-ant is a required dependency and you have to install it before +you build 'openjdk7'. However, you do not need to install Oracle's jdk, +since it's only a runtime dependency of apache-ant. + +Before installing this package please consider any other jdk's/jre's +that you have already installed as they may cause conflicts with the +PATH, JAVA_HOME and MANPATH variables. + +After installing the package you will need to logout/reboot your +machine as it will add new files to the /etc/profile.d folder. + +This script may take a couple of hours to complete and will require +about 11 GB of disk space for its temporary directory. It defaults to +"/tmp/SBo" and you may redefine it like this: + +TMP=/your/temporary/dir ./openjdk7.SlackBuild + +The 'cacerts' binary is a TrustStore containing CA certificates which +are used by Java applications. It is taken from the CentOS package +'ca-certificates-2015.2.4-65.0.1.el6_6.noarch.rpm'. + +If you get an error like + +Internal compiler error: java.lang.NullPointerException at +org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ReadManager.run(ReadManager.java:166) + +simply run the build again. This happens early so it shouldn't be that +of a problem. At least 1 out of 5 runs so far have always succeded. |
