If you just want to install SCIM support to input a particular language you can instead just install `scim-lang-<lang>`, where `<lang>` is one of `assamese`, `bengali`, `chinese`, `dhivehi`, `farsi`, `gujarati`, `hindi`, `japanese`, `kannada`, `korean`, `latin`, `malayalam`, `marathi`, `oriya`, `punjabi`, `sinhalese`, `tamil`, `telugu`, `thai`, `tibetan`.
+ === Improved im-chooser ===
+ The user interface of `im-chooser` has been improved to be simpler and easier to understand.
+
=== SCIM Input Method defaults ===
The core SCIM input method packages are now installed by default, but the input method only starts by default on desktops running in an Asian locale. The current locale list is: `as`, `bn`, `gu`, `hi`, `ja`, `kn`, `ko`, `ml`, `mr`, `ne`, `or`, `pa`, `si`, `ta`, `te`, `th`, `ur`, `vi`, `zh`. You can use `im-chooser` via ''System -> Preferences -> Personal -> Input Method'' to enable or disable SCIM on your desktop, or to select other installed input methods. In a non-Asian locale, you must set ''Use custom input method -> scim'' in `im-chooser` and restart your desktop session to activate SCIM on your desktop by default.

+ Graphical root login via GNOME Display Manager has been disabled in this release. As a standard best practice for security, it is always better to run individual programs with root privileges rather than login under root directly. With the introduction of [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeaturePolicyKit Policy Kit] and graduation migration of administration tools to using policy kit, running a complete graphical environment as a root user is even more strongly discouraged.
+ FIXME: Has KDM root login been disabled? How about other display managers?
- * Directory names can be localized (translated)
- * Includes a set of common directories by default, such as for documents, music, pictures, and downloads.
- * Appear as common bookmarks in the file browser, and are picked up by many applications as app-specific defaults. For example, a music player would start the file opening dialog in the default music directory.
- * Configurable by users, who can move or rename the directories via the '''Nautilus''' file manager, or by editing `~/.config/user-dirs.dirs`
-
- If you do not want default folders to be created, remove the `xdg-user-dirs-gtk` package and associated dependencies.

- <h2>Java and java-gcj-compat</h2>}}}
+ <h2>IcedTea and java-gcj-compat</h2>}}}
- This release of Fedora includes a free and open source Java environment called `java-gcj-compat`. The `java-gcj-compat` collection includes a tool suite and execution environment that is capable of building and running many useful programs that are written in the Java programming language.
+ === IcedTea ===
- [[Admonition("note", "Fedora Does Not Include Java", "Java is a trademark of Sun Microsystems. `java-gcj-compat` is an entirely free software stack that is '''not''' Java, but may run Java software.")]]
+ This release of Fedora includes the IcedTea environment. IcedTea is a build harness for Sun's OpenJDK code that replaces encumbered parts of OpenJDK with Free Software replacements. IcedTea provides a more complete, compatible environment than GCJ, including support for building and running bytecode up to the 1.6 level. There are a few caveats that users of IcedTea should be aware of:
+ * there is no ppc or ppc64 support; ppc and ppc64 users should continue to use GCJ
+ * there is no support for the Java sound APIs
+ * there are a few missing crypto algorithms
+
+ === Handling Java Applets with IcedTea and gcjwebplugin ===
+
+ The Fedora IcedTea packages also include an adaptation of gcjwebplugin that allows running untrusted applets safely in a web browser. This is packaged as {{{java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin}}}.
+
+ * gcjwebplugin has no support for the bytecode-to-Javascript bridge, so applets that rely on this bridge will not work
+
+ * gcjwebplugin's security policy may be overly restrictive; to enable restricted applets, run {{{firefox -g}}} in a terminal window to see what is being restricted, then grant the restricted permission in {{{/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0/jre/lib/security/java.policy}}}

- The [[GetVal(DocsDict,Jname)]] infrastructure has three key components: a '''GNU Java''' runtime (`libgcj`), the '''Eclipse Java''' compiler (`ecj`), and a set of wrappers and links (`java-gcj-compat`) that present the runtime and compiler to the user in a manner similar to other Java environments.

+ A simpler way to switch java alternatives is using the {{{system-switch-java}}} tool included in Fedora.
- === Handling Java Applets ===
-
- This release of Fedora includes a preview release of `gcjwebplugin`, a Firefox plugin for Java applets. `gcjwebplugin` is not enabled by default because although the security implementation in GNU Classpath is being actively developed, it is not mature enough to run untrusted applets safely. That said, the AWT and Swing implementations in GNU Classpath are now sufficiently mature that they can run many applets deployed on the web. Adventurous users who want to try `gcjwebplugin` can read `/usr/share/doc/libgcj-4.1.2/README.libgcjwebplugin.so`, as installed by the `libgcj` rpm. The README explains how to enable the plugin and the risks associated with doing so.

Bug 253691: Review Request: java-1.7.0-icedtea - IcedTea runtime and
development environments
Product: Fedora
Version: devel
Component: Package Review
Paul W. Frields <stickster(a)gmail.com> has granted Thomas Fitzsimmons
<fitzsim(a)redhat.com>'s request for fedora_requires_release_note:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=253691
------- Additional Comments from Paul W. Frields <stickster(a)gmail.com>
Definitely should be included in the F8 Release Notes. The Docs Project could
use some help in including the content, since we are very short on manpower at
the moment. You can edit content on this page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Java
Edits will be picked up by a number of channels we have for notification, so we
will see it, do any grammar/style editing necessary, and pass it on to
translators. If any knowledgeable individual on this bug's CC list could do
this in the next 72 hours, that would be very helpful. Thanks!
