OpenJDK support

Hi all:

Canonical has taken a radical approach and has completely disabled any support or ability to install Sun Java in any version of Ubuntu, even going so far as to have systems that update automatically remove installed copies of Sun Java. This effectively means that there's no official JDK that Mapr can run under when installed in Ubuntu.

Is there any support for OpenJDK with MapR? That appears to be the path forward.

Thanks!

Canonical have reversed this decision from what I hear. And their decisions not to continue to distribute Sun's JDK doesn't impact installations that are done from other than the standard partner repositories.

for a work-around. I have used this method myself and it works great.

0	Thanks, Ted. I hadn't yet heard of Canonical's reversal. That's helpful, but it's clear that the Sun distributions are, well, setting, even by Oracle's own admission. Are there plans for formal OpenJDK support? link answered 26 Apr '12, 22:39 peppert 87●9●10●14 accept rate: 0%
