RHEA-2012:0981 - new packages: java-1.7.0-openjdk

Synopsis

new packages: java-1.7.0-openjdk

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

New java-1.7.0-openjdk packages that provide OpenJDK 7 are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

[Updated 9 June 2012] This advisory has been updated to reflect the fact that java-1.7.0-openjdk is fully supported and no longer claims that java-1.7.0-openjdk is a Technology Preview feature. The packages included in this revised update have not been changed in any way from the packages included in the previous version of this advisory.

Description

The java-1.7.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 7 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 7 Java Software Development Kit.

This enhancement update adds new java-1.7.0-openjdk packages to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. (BZ#803726)

These packages do not replace the previous version of OpenJDK (java-1.6.0-openjdk) if present. Users can safely install OpenJDK 7 in addition to OpenJDK 6. The system default version of Java can be configured using the 'alternatives' tool.

All users who want to use java-1.7.0-openjdk should install these newly released packages, which add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
