Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Who decided to override my Java installation with JustJ?

@Gunnar, @Ed

thanks for the hints and workarounds, I just found that this example best reproduces the original issue described here and maybe give some pointers what might be wrong (or needs adjustments)?

I think whatever causing this its almost always undesirable that justj is pulled in without explicit user request. New releases always produce a lot of traffic if we higher this traffic even more by downloading unnecessary new java version this will frustrate user soon due to long download times.

And even though it can

You can point at this instead:

https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-12/202012161000/

Or at this:

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.18/R-4.18-202012021800

I.e., don't point at EPP if you don't EPP's IUs.

If the problem is caused by fake p2 a.java.javase IUs missing package exports that are imported/used by JDT, then I don't think anyone has tried to fix those (which would be hard because it would need to be a new IU with a different version number).

Is there any progress on this?

I noticed that even when using for example [1] in a target it downloads the full java 15 jre (>100mb) what is taking ages (eclipse servers are currently serving this with 16 to 32kb/s) to resolve target definition now.

Even worse, if one builds for multiple targets justj is downloaded for each target platform (e.g. linux, mac, windows) wasting a lot of bandwith, disk space and time...

Thanks Ed, that helped. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Greg,

I don't think anyone has figured out why a JRE is automatically installed during update:

   https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=567504

You can undo this effect just by removing the -vm argument (to end up with the default) or by changing the -vm argument to the one you want it to use, in your eclipse.ini.

It's liable to come back if there is an unexpected updated to the JRE in the future...

Regards,
Ed

My Eclipse installation recently prompted me to upgrade (something new), so I accepted the advice. Now I’ve discovered that an unknown JRE was downloaded onto my machine and is being used to run Eclipse. This is broken on so many levels, I don’t even know where to start opening bug reports.

Since when does Eclipse start installing unauthorized versions of the JRE onto my machine without any notification, and that overrides my choice of the JRE (or JDK in my case) for running Eclipse? Not only is there no option to change or uninstall this, it breaks tools that rely on the JDK (e.g. Spring Boot Live hovers.)

Does anybody else see the problem here? Someone needs to rethink this kind of behavior.

In the mean time, does anyone know how to undo this mess, or am I forced to go back to 2020-06?

Greg
