Re: [epp-dev] JustJ JRE for AArch64
|
Wayne,
I was actually hoping that the JustJ JREs did not end up in any
other p2 repository, including not in the EPP repositories; there
is no need for them to be present there.
We've already seen that an update from < 2020-09 caused a
JustJ JRE to be installed simply because it's available in the
2020-09 EPP repo . That's because, as of 2020-09, JDT's IUs
require package imports of Java packages that are not provided by
the "fake" a.jre.javase IUs but rather are provided only by the
JustJ JREs.
Consider too that the IUs are really large and there are many
variations of them:
https://download.eclipse.org/justj/jres/15/updates/milestone/S202010270507/index.html
It's not clear up front which consumers want to consume which
variants, so which would I push into the train?
In addition, the JREs release on a schedule that is completely
independent of the release train, i.e., whenever there is a new
release/update available from the upstream JDK source here:
https://jdk.java.net
The installer gives users the option to install a JustJ JRE
directly from JustJ's p2 repositories; this is part of the catalog
information so when a new one is released, it will be available
even in older installers.
And finally, in the end, having older JREs that might potentially
have security issues associated with them baked into more p2
repositories just seems like a bad idea in principle.
Regards,
Ed

I'm sure that I just missed a memo somewhere along
the way, but is there a reason that Eclipse JustJ, which is a
simultaneous release participant, is not in the simultaneous
release repository?

Thanks Ed.
We are in a brave new world here :-) JustJ (and
corrosion) are the first two projects being consumed by
EPP without going to simrel. This means the
responsibility on pushing out new releases changes hands
from the project (JustJ/Corrosion) to EPP itself.
I haven't been paying (enough) attention to the JustJ
issue.
Thanks

Did I miss some action point? I can test things on my
Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit, but for this I need clear
instructions on how to do it, since I'm not yet fully
mastering the Eclipse Foundation workflows.

Liviu
