  • Important notice:

As was made with the java packages in the official repositories, jdk now provides the jre alongside it, and both packages conflict with each other. During the package upgrade to version 22, act accordingly to your needs. For example, if you have both jdk and jre installed, only jdk will be sufficient, as it now also contains the runtime environment, and jre can be uninstalled. If you have only jre installed, no action is required.

@galaux, merge? Erm, I wonder what would be the right way to take your message then because 1) the two _were_ merged, they _aren't_ that anymore and 2) I _have_ explained this so many times it might actually even start to piss me off this tiiiny slightest bit to see people invariably repeating the same question I already answered before it was even asked (damn well even). Seriously, I _just_ quoted to wonder and now you're telling me you have absolutely no idea I did, even though it was the 3rd message from the top. Not even behind the "Show all XX comments" button excuse. Well, credit where it's due, I wouldn't have to do anything _myself_, since it seems like there's inevitably someone else already clarifying it for you guys. But I just can't understand how can somebody come up here and say "I see no reason why this was done" when the answer is _right there_. => The JDK provided JRE is the one meant for development, which is the whole _point_ of this package. <=

He did not merge them. JRE was always part of the JDK. He just changed the package info to avoid having everybody download a repeated unnecessary package.

Don't take it wrong but I see no reason nor explanation as to *why* you merged JRE *back* into JDK.

Thanks.

Oh, I am just too nice. FernandoBasso, I included your alternative mirrors.

I wonder if there's a reason there's always _some_ dev not really following through with the big updates I make here. @wonder, this is not unknown. It's just buried in the comment history you saw not essential enough to go through. This is what it said anyway (which, by the way I posted at the _exact_ same time I uploaded -2 and have been clarifying ever since): "Since jdk-devel seems to be working just fine, I'll proceed with this. As some of you already know, JDK already provides its own debug JRE, which historically I've just been replacing with the regular one and making it depend on it. But this is no longer the case, my friends. From now on this package will be both providing and thus conflicting with jre. This way you no longer have to download both upon every new release. We'll see how it goes." @FernandoBasso, the only thing I could possibly do is to change the source to the http://uni-smr.ac.ru/ one. It would be your job to complain to Oracle for the condition of their independent servers when CLI tools are being used. @kkl2401, that's not entirely how it went, as my quote tells. At the time I actually _replaced_ JDK's /opt/java/jre folder with that of JRE's. Libattach.so and libsaproc.so are the only two files added in JDK's JRE. Those were actually the only two files I had to pull to make the JDK stuff like 'jconsole' to work. The rest is just added debug symbols.

kkl2401 commented on 2012-10-23 10:22 (UTC)

So? jdk used to depend on jre. If you installed jdk, you had more or less the same files on your disk, only they were in two packages. I for one am glad that now I don't have to update two packages from AUR but only one.

wonder commented on 2012-10-23 10:14 (UTC)

for years we had jre and jdk. for some unknown reason, you decided to include jre in jdk.

To the last one: Yes. This provides all the virtual packages that jre does ('java-runtime=7' 'java-runtime-headless=7' 'java-web-start=7') plus the distinct one of its own ('java-environment=7'). Every app that worked before will keep on doing so.
