Wait, JDK 1.6.0? You mean JDK 1.5.0?
Nope, I mean the snapshot releases for JDK 1.6.0 early access.
Nope, I don't have an ebuild. Sorry.
Yes I know JDK 1.5.0 is still hard masked.
- get "Linux self-extracting file" from http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/binaries/
You might also try to compile it from source (yes they provide sources too), but I took the binary one.
- execute it
- move it somewhere like /opt/jdk1.6.0/
- make a file /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.6.0_ea with the contents:
| Code: | VERSION="Sun JDK 1.6.0_ea"
JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.6.0
JDK_HOME=/opt/jdk1.6.0
JAVAC=${JAVA_HOME}/bin/javac
ADDPATH="${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin"
ADDLDPATH="/opt/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib"
MANPATH="/opt/jdk1.6.0/man"
ENV_VARS="JAVA_HOME JDK_HOME JAVAC ADDPATH ADDLDPATH MANPATH" |
replace /opt/jdk1.6.0 with where you moved the jdk
| Code: | | java-config -S sun-jdk-1.6.0_ea |
| Code: | | /usr/sbin/env-update && source /etc/profile |
open a new terminal and do
to check if everything is ok
What's new?
Changelogs, mostly bugfixes, String#isEmpty(), Math.abs is faster.
What I heard and is implemented yet
- intra-vm communication (one java app to another)
- merge of JDIC and JDNC
- improvements and fixes to Swing
- JSR-203
Just be warned, qulity is likely to temporary decrease.
Eclipse and Azureus work.

I used this method to do a general install of a binary jdk without having gentoo bothering me.
I install my jdk's binary in /opt like you suggest. Plain vanilla self-extracting download from sun.
I then create a link currently /opt/jdk -> /opt/jdk1.5.0
Then I created a file /etc/env.d/sun-jdk:
| Code: |
VERSION="Sun JDK"
JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk
JDK_HOME=/opt/jdk
JAVAC=${JAVA_HOME}/bin/javac
ADDPATH="${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin"
ADDLDPATH="/opt/jdk/jre/lib"
MANPATH="/opt/jdk/man"
ENV_VARS="JAVA_HOME JDK_HOME JAVAC ADDPATH ADDLDPATH MANPATH"
|
# env-update
# java-config --list-available-vms
# java-config -S sun-jdk
From now on just install the jdk staight from java.sun.com. If you want to change versions just move the link. |

You either must have patience or contribute to open source. There is only one guaranteed way to have open source do what you want it to do, and that's write it yourself. |

I`ve done "speedy" ebuild for this ( corrected 1.5.0 from portage )
is working for me 
http://vivid.dat.pl/sun-jdk-1.6.0/sun-jdk-1.6.0_temp1.tar.bz2
of course binary file
| Code: |
jdk-6_0-ea-bin-b19-linux-i586-13_jan_2005.bin
|
must be placed in /usr/portage/distfiles first.
cheers.

if yout want to use only sun-jdk type in /etc/make.profile/virtuals
| Code: | virtual/jdk dev-java/sun-jdk
virtual/jre dev-java/sun-jdk |
more info on setting: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/java.xml

Sun published the planned features:
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=270
Nothing *really* exciting.
Stuff I miss:
NIO 2.0 (JSR-203)
Isolates (JSR-121) |

|

I'd like to automatically fetch and install the current version on a regular schedule (via a cron job). I mean to get the files like jdk-6_0-ea-bin-b19-linux-i586-13_jan_2005.bin as they become available. Can the ebuild be modified to do that?

I created a bash script to download and install JDK 6. It worked for a few months, until Sun changed something. If you'd like to correct it, and incorporate it into an ebuild, here it is:
| Code: | $ cat /usr/local/bin/newjdk
#!/bin/bash
# Parses http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/binaries/ and downloads the .bin file after
# the string "Linux self-extracting file"
if [ $# != 0 ]; then
echo "Downloads and installs the most recent JDK 6 ea release"
echo "Usage: $(basename $0)"
exit -1
fi
REL=$1
function parseDL {
# Discover most recent binary and download; exit if it already was downloaded
TMPFILE=/var$(mktemp)
wget -qO $TMPFILE http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/binaries
BINFILE="$(cat $TMPFILE|grep -m 1 -o "jdk-6_0-ea-bin-b[0-9]*-linux-i.86-[[:alnum:]_]*.bin"|uniq)"
REL="$(echo $BINFILE|grep -o 'b[0-9]\+')"
REL=${REL:1} # chop off leading 'b'
DIR="/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0-ea-b$REL"
rm -f $TMPFILE
if [ -d "$DIR" ]; then exit 0; fi # Already downloaded, assumed installed, so quit
wget -qO /var/tmp/$BINFILE http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/binaries/$BINFILE
}
parseDL
if [ ! -f "$(ls /var/tmp/$BINFILE)" ]; then
echo "Error: Binary JDK 6 install file /var/tmp/$BINFILE not found. Aborting."
exit -3
fi
sudo rm -f /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.6
sudo cp -a /etc/{,env.d/java/}20sun-jdk-1.6
sudo sed -ie "s/XX/$REL/g" /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.6
chmod a+x /var/tmp/$BINFILE
cd /var/tmp
eval ./$BINFILE # extract the JDK after agreeing to the license
# Keep the previous JDK build in case the new one has a problem
sudo mv jdk1.6.0 /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0-ea-b$REL
sudo /usr/sbin/env-update # Read the new env.d package entry
# Test the new JDK 1.6
#/usr/bin/java-config -s sun-jdk-1.6
#source ~/.gentoo/java
#if [ -z "$(java -version 2>&1 | grep $REL)" ]; then
# echo "Error: JDK 1.6 b$REL did not install properly, aborting"
# exit -2
#fi
env-update
source /etc/profile |
I also created an expect script to fully automate installation:
| Code: | $ cat /etc/newjdk.exp
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set force_conservative 0
if {$force_conservative} {
set send_slow {1 .1}
proc send {ignore arg} {
sleep .1
exp_send -s -- $arg
}
}
set timeout -1
log_user 0 # set to 0 to disable echoing output
spawn /usr/local/bin/newjdk
match_max 100000
expect {
-re ".*--More--" {send " "; puts "\npressed space\n"; exp_continue}
-re ".*yes or no" {sleep 1;send "yes\r\n"; puts "\nsaid yes\n"}
eof exit
}
expect eof |
It would be great if someone used the above to create a proper ebuild. |

| Mustang (J2SE 6) is targeted for final release in fall 2006. Sure would be nice to have official Gentoo support in 2006 as well. |

| I looked at Java experimental and found that it dragged in a whole lot of other stuff, which I didn't want. I just want to be able to use J2SE 6 in an otherwise stable system. |

Hmm, well, the only thing I'm using from the java experimental overlay is the jdk 6 ebuild so I'm not sure what other stuff you're referring to. Certainly you can delete out whatever you don't want or copy the ebuild to your own overlay. The alternative is to roll your own. Are you suggesting that it should be in the mainline portage tree for some reason? I'd be really surprised if that happened even when jdk 1.6 reaches rc status, but what do I know it's not like I have any influence in the matter anyway. Just making sure you knew about it which apparently you do. |
