OpenJDK package name on Fedora is java-1.?.0-openjdk.

Java Consoles

There are at least 2 consoles:

OpenJDK 8
- Monitoring ...
- Policy ...
IcedTea (deprecated ??)
- Monitoring
- Policy ...

shared library paths

OpenJDK's java.library.path, shared library paths for i386 are:

/usr/lib
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.?.0-openjdk-1.?.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/

and for x86_64:

/usr/lib64
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.?.0-openjdk-1.?.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/

Java subsystem debugging

Preparations

For all Java subsystem debugging, installing the symbols package java-1.8.0-openjdk-debuginfo is essential. All debuginfo sub-packages reside in own repository which needs to be enabled for installation at least. An example yum command:

# dnf install --enablerepo=fedora-debuginfo -y java-1.8.0-openjdk-debuginfo

Applets ??

Applets are deprecated, no ???

Console has moved to icedTea itself (requires icedtea-web package). Activating the console can be done with gui-tool:

 Program menu --> Settings --> IcedTea Web Control Panel

Console can for example list detailed information about the environment which can be useful for bug reporting:

Test URLs

Fedora's JRE in browser environment can be tested using the following test pages:

Note that those pages itself are sad examples of compliance of specifications: buggy or buggier - if you know any better pages, change them here.

-Since Fedora 15, Java console has been removed from ''Firefox Web developer tools add-on'' and it hasn't existed in the browser itself for some time. Related mozilla.org bugs:

-Background for this change was that nowdays there can be more than one JVM instance connected to a web browser and thus console feature was moved to JVM itself. Command:
+There are at least 2 consoles:
-<pre>
+* OpenJDK 8
-# yum install --enablerepo=fedora-debuginfo -y icedtea-web

-would install console support. There is also packages ''icedtea-web-debuginfo'' and ''icedtea-web-javadoc''.

+OpenJDK's '''java.library.path''', shared library paths for i386 are:
+<pre>
-'''Firefox''' detected plugin list can be seen by typing the url:
+/usr/lib
-<pre>about:plugins</pre>
+/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.?.0-openjdk-1.?.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/
-Firefox can be run in debug mode as follows:
-<pre>$ ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true firefox 2>&1 | tee console.log
 </pre>
-This will write the standard output also to a file.
-Browser plugin also writes files under user's
+and for x86_64:
 <pre>
-~/.icedteaplugin/java.stdout
+/usr/lib64
-~/.icedteaplugin/java.stderr
+/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.?.0-openjdk-1.?.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/
 </pre>
-All these files are valuable information which can/should be attached to a bug reports.
-== Attaching a debugger ==
-When running in debug mode (with ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true), it is also possible to attach a debugger to JVM process, thus allowing stepping through applet code and the plugin code itself.
-Once the applet is loaded, just attach the debugger of your choice to port 8787, and you can then set breakpoints in the applet code.
+== Java subsystem debugging ==
-Sometimes it may be necessary to debug the applet's init function. To to do that, first load a simple (working) applet in the browser. If you load http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/, that should do it (the top left corner has an applet). This will start the JVM, allowing you to attach a debugger to it. Once the debugger is attached, you can set up breakpoints in the applet code and then proceed to load the applet. If you are using the NP plugin (default in Fedora 13 and higher), you need to load your applet applet in another tab. Loading it in the same tab will ''not'' work, as the VM will be shutdown as soon as the previous page closes to load the new one.

-OpenJDK does not ship the ''Java console'' anymore, but one can be found from Firefox [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 Web Developer] add-on which is installed separately to the Firefox.

-Once Web Developer add-on has been installed, it can be activated from:
