RHBA-2011:1623 - java-1.6.0-openjdk enhancement update

Synopsis

java-1.6.0-openjdk enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated java-1.6.0-openjdk package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

These packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Software Development Kit.

This updated java-1.6.0-openjdk package includes fixes for the following bugs:

• The java-1.6.0-openjdk package has been upgraded to the upstream version 1.10.4, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#722310)

• Installing of OpenJDK or execution of a Java program, which was using other than terminal fonts, could have terminated unexpectedly with the following error:

  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Probable fatal error:No fonts found.

This happened because the fontconfig library was not installed and the font enumeration failed. With this update, OpenJDK depends on fontconfig and the problem no longer occurs. (BZ#708201)

All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixed these bugs.
