[java-sig-commits] [Bug 1098509] New: all jpackage following lunchers are using by defalt JDK instead of JRE

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1098509 Bug ID: 1098509 Summary: all jpackage following lunchers are using by defalt JDK instead of JRE Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Version: 7.1 Component: jpackage-utils Severity: high Assignee: java-maint(a)redhat.com Reporter: jvanek(a)redhat.com QA Contact: qe-baseos-apps(a)redhat.com CC: akurtako(a)redhat.com, java-sig-commits(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, jerboaa(a)gmail.com, mizdebsk(a)redhat.com, msrb(a)redhat.com, sochotni(a)redhat.com Depends On: 1098508 +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1098508 +++ Description of problem: When alternatives are used to change jre (alternatives --config java) the all jpackage compatible java apps, are still using the java specified by JDK (alternatives --config javac) This is wrong. Especially for case when I have one JDK and one JRE. Then I can use alternatives as , and still only JDK will be selected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All fedoras and rhels till now How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce on f20: 1. $ install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel, and java-1.8.0-oepnjdk 2. $ alternatives --configure java 3. select java 8 4. # run some packed java app Expected results: java8 will be used Actual results: java 7 is still used To use java 8 you ust install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel and select java 8 via $alternatives --config javac Additional info: Currently jpackage-utils are using JDK by default. Any app which wonts to use only JRE must specifi _prefer_jre=true to luncher. Well this is wrong in design. All apps should use JRE by default, and only few (10?) apps using whole JDK should specifi _prefer_jre=false. Another workarouds ae set JAVA_HOME or edit /etc/java/java.conf But htose are far away from compfortable alternatives solution. As reason not to do the change was introduced ant - that it needs whole JDK to run. IMHO it is one of the few apps which should specifu _prefer_jre=false... Fix is quite simple Change /usr/share/java-utils/java-functions to use /usr/lib/jvm/jre instead of /usr/lib/java However, the consequences may be really huge.
