Hello Jiri,
I am not a packager for Fedora, but I am a user (of Fedora) who develops in Java at
times. I assume you are referring to a replacement for alternatives (which doesn't
work on Silverblue or Fedora CoreOS). The ability to switch between different JDK
No! Not At all!
Alternatives are remaining same.
This change is solemnly for build-time only.
When we were bumping jdk form 8 to 11. 50% of chanes was to edit source/target flags of
javac. I would like to avoid it in future...
versions is a must for anyone doing Java programming for different organizations. So
anything to make that a smoother operating workflow IMHO is welcome.
Hm. How come alternatives do not work for SilverBlue and CoreOs?

to provide rpm macros, keeping the default source/target eventually - for jdk11 and up

packagers to use them - for ant and maven it should be simple. For others, probably
nothing to do on our side, each packager will be able to patch/sed theirs builds as
necessary (Still it will help a lot for future). I do not know how to provide them as
default (except hardcoding in xmvn, and only allow to disable them on demand). This will
smooth the bump to jdk17 in f36 really a lot. Thoughts? J. -- Jiri Vanek Senior QE
