This page lists packages that need to be fixed and rebuilt with java-1.7.0-openjdk for F17


There are 2 types of fixes that need to be made in F17. Firstly, packages that fail to build need to be fixed. Secondly, packages that specifically requires java = 1.6 need to be fixed to require java >= 1.6. Affected packages are listed in separate tables below. When you pick a package to work on, please check to see if it exists in the other table too. If it does, both matters can be fixed at once.

List of provenpackagers who can help get your fixes committed and built:

  • Deepak Bhole (dbhole at redhat dot com/IRC: dbhole)


How to edit the tables

  1. When you are ready to taken on a package, edit the table below to add your name in the "Taken by" column
  2. If you want, you can update the status and the color, but please don't set it to green until it is all done and built in Koji. That way a cursory glance would catch anything that needs work.
  3. Once the new package is built in koji, update the status accordingly and change the color to green.

Issues descriptions and how to fix them

I have tried my best to categorize packages by issue. If there are any mistakes, feel free to update accordingly.

Issue Explanation How to fix
Invalid ASCII chars Prior to Java 7, unmappable characters in the source were treated as warnings. Java treats them as errors. To fix it, simply build, look at the error locations and patch to replace the unmappable characters with appropriate characters. An alternative is to find out what encoding is used in the source file and pass the -encoding argument to javac with the right encoding.
Incompatible with new JDBC Java 7 contains a newer version of JDBC. Some of the abstract classes/interfaces in the new version specify new methods. Because the newer API needs additional methods, fixing just involves patching to add those methods (either as stubs, or proper implementations) to the classes. Most (if not all) new methods look like they would just be one-liners.
com.sun.image.codec Java 7 has completely removed support for com.sun.image.codec.* classes (deprecated since Java 1.4). These are probably the most complex of all issues to fix. The first thing is to check if upstream has fixed it and then just backport that fix. If not fixed upstream, patch to use ImageIO instead, as specified here.
-source/-target mismatch The -source argument to javac specifies a newer version than the -target argument. Patch to use the same -source and -target. Only bouncycastle seems to be affected, and for it, -source 1.5 -target 1.5 would be best.
Same type erasure This is a bug in the original code itself. The Java 6 compiler incorrectly accepted bad input. Java 7 does not. The issue is that the code is specifying multiple methods with the same name and one takes an argument type that is the parent type of what the other takes. See this for more explanation. The code needs to be matched to change method names for methods that have the same type erasure. If the method is part of a public api, we need to contact upstream to get it fixed correctly.
Needs tools.jar in build/runtime classpath Java 6 and lower used to provide tools.jar on the classpath by default. Java 7 no longer does it, and as a result, error related to missing classes (that exist in tools.jar) are seen. The package should be patched to supply tools.jar when building, and to ensure that tools.jar is on run-time classpath if it is needed during runtime as well.
