[FC4] Java

[Guillermo Castro]

Mike,

I already emailed the jpackage team about this. Hopefully, they'll
have a new rpm for 1.5.0.05 soon. (jpacakge has nothing or very little
to do with fedora, btw).

However, if you don't want to wait, you can download the current rpm
from jpackage (java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.04-1jpp.nosrc.rpm) and install it
just as the page tells you (rpmbuild --rebuild ....), which will of
course fail, but leave you with the configuration inside
~/rpmbuild/SPECS/. There, edit 'java-1.5.0-sun.spec' and change the
line:

%define buildver      04

To:

%define buildver      05

Then run:

rpmbuild -bb java-1.5.0-sun.spec

which will run the build process and create the java rpms as expected.
Then follow the rest of the page for instructions on how to install,
etc.

Hope this helps.

Regars,
