Java: meta-java, meta-oracle-java

Java: meta-java, meta-oracle-java

[Ivan Kuten]

Hello,

I noticed an activity around meta-java layer (OpenJDK based)
https://github.com/woglinde/meta-java
and recently around Oracle JRE: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-oracle-java/

Any plans to combine or coordinate these efforts?
Because now we are working on Java PowerPC e500v2 support and finally would like to upstream
to mainline our work.

Best regards,
Ivan Kuten, head of R&D at Promwad

these are two different layers so they will exist. What coordination
would you like to see that will help you

I meant isn't it going to be something like that in local.conf :
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/java = "oracle-jre"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/java = "openjdk"
in a single meta-java layer...

Ivan

I think that would be sensible meta-java e.g. do provide
virtuals I hope oracle java layer does something same.

look at meta-java

virtual/java-native
virtual/javac-native
virtual/javac

and work with Henning (woglinge) to sort out any other layer APIs you need these
layers to live amicably
