I just found that actually java are in extra folder instead of source in mirrors, I don't know in DVD. ====== Alternative Java implementations ====== Shouldn't there be a reference to alternate (free) Java implemenations such as OpenJDK and the GNU Java Compiler? --- //[[wiki:user:vharishankar|Harishankar]] 2012/08/26 19:51// ---- Maybe Eric can contribute an updated version of his blog article about opeJDK/JRE.// [[wiki:user:escaflown|escaflown]] 2012/08/26 21:51// ------ Yes, I know but I thought I'd leave it to Eric to expand the article. He wrote about it on his blog and created SlackBuilds. //[[wiki:user:sycamorex|sycamorex]] 2012/08/27 07:13// ------ I will write an update about OpenJDK soon (I hope) but in the meantime, one of the original authors should add a discription of installing the JDK instead of the JRE. For people who need to compile Java code, the JRE is not enough. \\ Also warn people that they should install **only one** of the two JRE and JDK packages! A JDK package includes the full runtime, installing the separate JRE package will only manage to break the Java installation. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/08/30 03:18// ------ Thanks Eric for your suggestions. I'll have some time tomorrow and will update the article. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:sycamorex|sycamorex]] 2012/08/30 12:28 GMT// ------ Small stylistic suggestion: replace "Slackware (and other distributions) is no longer allowed" by "Slackware (as well as other distributions) is no longer allowed". Plural subject with singular verb creates a clash. --//[[wiki:user:kikinovak]] Tue Sep 4 10:51:21 CEST 2012// >> Hmmm,,,,grammatically speaking both versions are identical; stylistically, IMHO, they only differ in terms of personal linguistic preferences:) --- //[[wiki:user:sycamorex|Marcin Herda]] 2012/09/04 10:38// > Or: "Slackware, or any other distribution, is no longer allowed". --- //[[wiki:user:brianl|Brian Lawrence]] 2012/09/04 05:51// >> Ok, I think that sounds better. --- //[[wiki:user:sycamorex|Marcin Herda]] 2012/09/04 10:38// ------
