by Yup Yup 14 Jun '11

But, Java runtime is not recognised in the Eclipse IDE. Under Menu....... Window>Preferences there are no installed JREs options. Also, no Java project, class options in the menu is available.

Renamed jakarta-commons-* packages
by Mat Booth 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Hi guys, During the great jakarta-commons to apache-commons package rename of 2010, [1] the following packages of yours have been obsoleted by versions with a new apache-prefixed name and a ticket has been raised with rel-eng has been raised to block them [2] from F14 and F15: fnasser: jakarta-commons-beanutils jakarta-commons-configuration jakarta-commons-el jakarta-commons-jxpath pcheung: jakarta-commons-daemon jakarta-commons-fileupload jakarta-commons-net In order to complete the process, it is necessary for the package owner to retire the package in pkgdb [3] so if I'd be most grateful if you'd be able to do that or release ownership of the package so that someone else may do it. Thanks for your help, Mat [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JakartaCommonsRename [2] https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4128 [3] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/ -- Mat Booth http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora

depfind
by Adam Young 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Having battled the dependency isssues wuith Maven and Buildr on a couple of occasions, I wrote a bunch of scripts for dealing with this stuff and posted it on my blog. And someone responded with this: Why on the Earth one would use Ruby in order to extract deps from the Java files?! Dude, use the right tool for right purpose. http://depfind.sourceforge.net/Manual.html I notice that it isn't in Fedora, nor is it in JPackage, so I wonder if other members of the team have used it or even know about it. It might help many of the people with dependency issues. Boy did that last line have a double meaning. Anyway, figured it was worth bringin to peoples attention and getting some feedback. I'm not in Java mode for this project, so I don't have the cycles to spend on it; maybe someone else does.

Eclipse Fedora Packager: Call for Testers and Contributors
by Severin Gehwolf 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi Fedora Packagers, <pitch> I would like to bring a new Eclipse plug-in to your attention: Eclipse Fedora Packager[1] It's a tool which can help speeding up your Fedora packaging work :-) In a nutshell, it offers similar features as the command-line client fedpkg, but with a GUI. Here's a list of its current features (more to come): - Conveniently clone Fedora Git projects, switch branches etc. - RPM-spec-file editor with syntax highlighting, auto-completion and changelog support (<Ctrl>+<Alt>+C keyboard shortcut) - Download source files and upload new source files - Prepare local builds (execute %prep section of your spec-file) - Create source RPM files based on current spec-file - Execute local builds - Push builds to Koji (the Fedora build system) - Mock builds - Push Bodhi updates (the Fedora updates system) - Eclipse Git support (via EGit) If those features cover all (most) tasks you usually carry out when packaging your software for Fedora, Eclipse Fedora Packager may be a tool for you to look into. Still not sure? It might be the right tool for your Fedora packaging if: - You prefer GUI tools over command-line-clients - You are already familiar with Eclipse or some other IDE - You are a developer and you use Eclipse on a daily basis - You have never packaged something for Fedora, but would like to do so. - You don't know much about how software gets into Fedora but need to get it packaged for it. - Your main goal is to get your software packaged for Fedora as opposed to learning a lot of tooling. Sounds interesting? Want to try it out? Here's what you need to do (please note that Eclipse Fedora Packager will officially come with Fedora 14 for the first time): If you have a F14 box, "yum install eclipse-fedorapackager". Then fire up Eclipse and follow instructions of our user guide: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Eclipse_Fedora_Packager_User_Guide On F13 (I'm using it) and older (untested) you need to install some rawhide packages. This is what I usually do: 1.) Install dependencies (non-rawhide): $ yum install eclipse eclipse-changelog eclipse-rpm-editor \ fedora-release-rawhide fedora-packager 2.) Install eclipse-fedorapackager and eclipse-egit from rawhide $ yum install --enablerepo=rawhide eclipse-fedorapackger 3.) Follow our user guide[2] for information on how to get started using the plug-in. The latest version of eclipse-fedorapackager is 0.1.8 (in rawhide). Here's a link to today's build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=201275 Feedback, testing, bug reports, contributions are very much appreciated. Our Trac instance is here (use your FAS to login): https://fedorahosted.org/eclipse-fedorapackager/ If you have questions, run into problems or would be interested in contributing please let me know: email: sgehwolf AT redhat DOT com (this list is preferred) IRC: my nick is "jerboaa" (e.g. #fedora-devel or #fedora-java) I'll get back to you as soon as possible. In any case, let us know what you think ;-) </pitch> Thanks, Severin [1] https://fedorahosted.org/eclipse-fedorapackager/ (Trac/wiki) [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Eclipse_Fedora_Packager_User_Guide

Re: [fedora-java] [Crash-catcher] java reports by crash catcher
by Mark Wielaard 13 Oct '10

Looks like the java-devel list disgarded any email from non-subscribers (so that included my initial email and your reply). Hope that is fixed now. I left all text in the email, even though my reply consists of only on tiny paragraph so others can catch up on the discussion.

Maven 3 srpm & binary rpms for testing
by Stanislav Ochotnicky 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi everyone, Quite a few people from Java SIG are responsible for this early version of maven3 rawhide rpms. Please try them out if you can for building your projects. This release is installable parallel to current maven2 so if any problems with maven2 appear after installing this version let me know. One caveat: there is no mvn3-jpp yet. I'll be working on it over the course of next few days. The command to run is mvn3. SRPM: http://sochotni.fedorapeople.org/maven-3.0-1.fc13.src.rpm RPM: http://sochotni.fedorapeople.org/maven-3.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm You will need several dependencies that are currently under review. aether: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641967 (review done) sisu: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641390 (waiting) google-guice: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640992 (review done) -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky(a)redhat.com> Associate Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 71A1677C Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com

Few maven 3 dependency reviews
by Stanislav Ochotnicky 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Hi, as some of you know I've been working on getting maven 3 packaged for Fedora. Current status seems pretty good. I have all dependencies up for review and maven 3 builds with rawhide's mvn-jpp. This is where you come in. I could use someone reviewing these dependencies (ascending complexity): aether: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641967 sisu: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641390 google-guice: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640992 Thanks, -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky(a)redhat.com> Associate Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 71A1677C Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com
