Trying to install jedit without OpenJDK?

bjorntj · 2011-09-13 15:07:06

I am trying to install jedit but it insists on adding OpenJDK as well... But I have installed a dummy package to tell the system that JDK is already installed, with the following provides info..:

provides=('java-environment=7','java-runtime=7','java-environment=6','java-runtime=6')

(have tried to add more, as you see, use to be only java-environment=7)

But when trying to install jedit, I get the following warning..:

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: openjdk6 and jdk are in conflict (java-environment). Remove jdk? [y/N] n

Shouldn't pacman see that jdk already provides java-environment? Or am I missing something?

Regards,

jedit needs java-runtime, which is provided by openjdk6, jdk provides
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jd/jdk6/PKGBUILD

provides=('java-environment=6' j2sdk)

so it won't work, but it does conflict w/ openjdk, because both packages provide java-environment.

@bjorntj: I have jEdit installed without OpenJDK:

pacman -Q | egrep "jre|jedit|jdk"
jedit 4.4.1-1
jre 7-3

Kind regards,

I think you misunderstood... I have manually installed my own JDK and installed a dummy JDK package, using a PKGBUILD file looking like this..:

pkgname=jdk
pkgver=7
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="The Java Development Kit"
url=http://jdk7.java.net/
arch=(i686 x86_64)
license=(custom)
provides=('java-environment=7','java-runtime=7','java-environment=6','java-runtime=6','java-environment','java-runtime')
conflicts=('java-environment')

package(){
	/bin/true
}

Shouldn't this cover the needed dependencies for jedit?

Yes, but you have installed jre from aur...

It requires jre6. You can rebuild it with ABS and force it to accept java 7.

Then, shouldn't it accept the provides = 'java-runtime=6' in my own dummy package or am I missing something here?

So what? Is that forbidden?
All I can say is that it works pretty well with jEdit and with all other Java applications I use.

bjorntj · 2011-09-13 19:49:19

Nope, not forbidden... But I was hoping a I could keep my manual install without having to install other java package to make pacman understand that java runtime is already installed....
