Groovy package should depend on either sun-jdk or openjdk

[Raviteja]

Groovy package presently depends on openjdk-6-jdk. This should not be the case if sun-java6-jdk is installled.

Thanks for reporting this bug. The top-level README.txt certainly seems to say the same thing. Marking this confirmed.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

actually I don't see where it currently depends on openjdk. In natty it depends on default-jdk, and in debian sid it depends on default-jre-headless | sun-java6-jre.

Can you tell us which ubuntu release you are on?

[Raviteja (rlokineni)]

I use Maverick(10.10) with sun-jdk installed. When I do "sudo apt-get install groovy" it pulls in openjdk. Haven't tried this on the latest release.

[Raviteja (rlokineni)]

It seems like default-jdk pulls:

"ca-certificates-java default-jdk default-jre default-jre-headless icedtea-6-jre-cacao icedtea-6-jre-jamvm icedtea-netx libaccess-bridge-java libaccess-bridge-java-jni libice-dev libpthread-stubs0 libpthread-stubs0-dev libsm-dev libx11-dev libxau-dev libxcb1-dev libxdmcp-dev libxt-dev openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless openjdk-6-jre-lib ttf-dejavu-extra tzdata-java x11proto-core-dev x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev xtrans-dev"

It doesn't check if sun-java6-jdk is already installed

The above was tested on

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04
Codename: natty

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Where do you get the sun-jdk package? Is it generated using java-package? AFAIK the package is removed, and Oracle only provides rpm and binary installers.

Anyway, this bug should be filed here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/java-common/+filebug as that is the source of the default-jdk package.
