Install JRE and OpenJDK Side-by-Side [Unecessary - So Solved]

As far as I know this is impossible, but if there is a way to install JRE and OpenJDK side-by-side, that would be great.

The reason I would like this is that there is a specific webserver I access that simply will not work with OpenJDK. It's a known issue that may or may not be fixed any time soon. On the other hand, I would like to install freeCAD, but this depends on OpenJDK and not JRE.

So as of right now, there is no way for me to have freeCAD installed and access this webserver. Now if JRE and OpenJDK were installed side by side, then this wouldn't be a problem. The other option, is letting users install freeCAD with and OpenJDK or JRE dependency, whichever best suits them.

Is anybody else in a similar boat as this?

Where do you see this requirement?  I don't see anything that specifically depends on openjdk6.  The only java deps I see are in opencascade.  It depends on java-runtime and makedepends on java-environment, which can be satisfied by jre + jdk.

When I went to install, it was forcing me to install OpenJDK and uninstall JRE.

When I went to install, it was forcing me to install OpenJDK and uninstall JRE.

Again, java-environment can be satisfied by jdk:

# pacman -S jdk --asdeps

then relog, or manually source jdk.sh:

$ . /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh

Okay, I'll have to give this a shot when I get a chance. Thanks.

Success, at least as far as dependencies go. I'm encountering another error, but I'll post a different topic for it. Thanks for the help!
