Eclipse 3.1RC3 RPMs
by Andrew Overholt
(from my blog)
Hi,
I made some 3.1RC3 RPMs and put them up at http://overholt.ca/rpms/eclipse.
These are very similar to the RC2 RPMs but there are a few differences
because I’m now making use of the work Ben and I did (with help from Pascal
and others) on Eclipse bug #90535 [1]. This means that there will no
longer be .sos in ~/.eclipse. Removing that directory (and its contents)
prior to running with these RPMs and verifying that there are no longer any
.sos in there after your work with Eclipse would be appreciated. Also,
since we’re now able to extract the .sos from those .jars that have them,
the SWT JNI libraries are now owned by libswt3-gtk2. This will make
packaging SWT apps (like RSSOwl [2] which I took a look at on Friday and
will continue to pick at as I have time) much easier. Please test if you
can and let me know. I’m probably going to push to rawhide but I wanted to
get a headstart.
Andrew

I'd like to take a look at those patches. Could you please drop them on
some webserver? I'm not going to commit myself to do anything meaningful
but I'd like to tinker with them a bit :-)
Thanks,

recommendations for coexistence with Sun-jre
by Zlatin Balevsky
Greetings,
I've been receiving many reports that applications that depend on Sun
(such as LimeWire which I work for) java break on FC4. I can't advise
people to get rid of the -compat package because openoffice.org-core
depends on it.
Is there an officially supported/recommended way of having Sun java
coexist with the -compat?
Thanks in advance,
Zlatin Balevsky

FC5 stuff
by Tom Tromey
Karen pointed out to me that the wiki has some wish-list like items
for java programs and FC5:
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5Future
(look for " free java related enhancements")
I don't know how much of this we will actually get done.
Offhand I would say that Azureus and RSSOwl are the easiest targets
to hit. JXplorer is a complete unknown to me. gcjwebplugin requires
a number of libgcj enhancements, notably security.
Also on my wish list, but not reflected in the wiki, is 1.5 language
support. I would rank this below gcjwebplugin though.
Feel free to post other ideas, comments, etc.

ANN: Linux TestFest
by Surendra Singhi
Love Linux? Love TESTING on Linux? We're SpikeSource, a bunch of
passionate open source testing folks, and we're holding our first-ever
TestFest on June 17th. We'll give you the chance to show how good your code
really is by testing it using our new 'test harness'. We run 22,000 tests
per day on over 63 open source components using this harness. This event
kicks off our free testing service for the open source community. Mix and
mingle with our developers to chat about open source testing. Hear from
SpikeSource founder & CTO Murugan Pal on Participatory Testing and our
architect, Sastry Malladi, about our Core stack product. Testing
demonstrations on popular open source software will also be held for
attendees. All developers are welcome! Check us out at
www.spikesource.com/testfest.html, where you can register and learn how to
package and test your code. On June 17th, 3pm, head over to SpikeSource
offices in Redwood City to receive a report on your test results with
helpful feedback from our staff. Lots of free food & beer to go around.
Heck, we're even hiring. Should be a real geek fest! We hope to see you
there.

gcjdbtool config
by Jerry Haltom
I notice on an old thread that work had been done into planning how to
merge separate package's .db files into the central .db file.
What was decided? A post install script that scans for .db files and
merges them? How are they unmerged when the package is removed?
