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.
