Hi all,

I have to bugs on bugzilla, which relate to the prerequisite for jdk,
and I have a few questions about it.

For the deb file, the users reported that there is no dependency for
jdk, yet when I look into the building files for debian, it states the
following:

Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, tomcat5.5, tomcat5.5-exist,
java5-runtime | java6-runtime | java-virtual-machine

Should I change this to include sun-java5-jdk and sun-java6-jdk as well?

This is a good question which doesn't have a good response :-)

I think you shouldn't change it because your service (and mine) needs java5-runtime, not the one from sun. It probably works using IBM Java 5 or another implementation. 

The problem starts when the distribution is installing a java5 implementation where our services doesn't works. My suggestion is specifying which Java 5 implementation has been tested successfully with our services in the documentation.

For the rpm file, I want to add a dependency for jdk as well. I tried
adding jdk-1.5.0_16, but that doesn't seem to be a correct package. Does
anybody have an idea what is should be?

Idem

Cheers,

Stijn
