[Adrian Almenar]

Can you provide me (please Cc: gentoo-dev, too) with a list of bug tickets
that are solved with 1.4.1 ?

If nothing else, we should be able to provide 1.4.1_01 tagged as "testing"
for the release.


Kind regards,

I was checking some bugs on bugs.gentoo.org and a tried this #8921 and
seem to be fixed, i was able to reproduce that error with
sun-jdk-1.4.0_02, now tried with the new jdk, and i was unable to
reproduce it so i think its fixed. i will send some more bug checking to
the list as soon as i can.

Cheers

Bug tickets. No.  But then again, a problem with the JDK would not likely be
logged with Gentoo.  Sun supplies the following list:

Bug Fixes

As the first maintenance release to J2SE 1.4.0, over 2000 bug fixes were
integrated in J2SE 1.4.1.

Additionally, changes and improvements have been made in the following
areas:

  a.. Compiler and Class File Format Changes.
  b.. Javadoc
  c.. AWT
  d.. SWING
  e.. Java Naming and Directory InterfaceTM API
  f.. Networking
  g.. RMI
  h.. Internationalization
  i.. Security
  j.. Kerberos Service and DNS Name Lookup

    And for this reason shouldn't  the gentoo developers put Sun's java2 
sdk/jdk 1.4.1 in the portage system? It's only a bug fix/improvements 
release, not a "new features" release, so it should solve many bugs and 
improve quality of the related java packages.
    And for me, I don't understand why are we fixing bugs in a release 
that is outdated, when making a portage ebuild for the new version could 
have the above mentioned benefits and also provide the users with the 
latest version, (which is one of the branded features of gentoo, "fully 
fledged state of the art software :-p" )

I agree.  Since Gentoo does not fix bugs in the JDK, there is very little
reason not to include it.

The ticket #8291 "Ebuild for sun-jdk-1.4.1" has been assigned to mkennedy;
he'll most likely solve this when more critical issues have been attended
to.

The reason why the sun-jdk-1.4.1 hasn't been included is simply because
nobody has gotten around to it yet.

It should however be some consolation to the Java geeks around that the
blackdown-jdk-1.4.1_beta is available for testing on the x86 platform. Go
play with it and report back bugs and help the Blackdown team as much as
you can.

We default to Blackdown whenever possible, as it can be downloaded freely
off the net, and mirrored too, unlike the Sun binaries.


Kind regards,

Karl T

Are any jre/jdk's being built with gcc 3.2 yet?  Particularly the moz
plugin.
