openjdk-6-jdk should depend on libxt-dev

 Hello,

  I think that openjdk-6-jdk should depend on libxt-dev, because the
  header file jawt_md.h provided by openjdk-6-jdk includes
  X11/Intrinsic.h, which is provded by libxt-dev package.

  I think this is the reason that swt-gtk
  (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/swt-gtk/3.4-1) fails to build in
  i386, *64 and lpia archs, yet it succeeds on powerpc arch (since
  default-jdk in powerpc arch depends on gcj's jdk).

Hello,

  Matvey Kozhev did a workaround for swt-gtk package, to make it build against openjdk, what he did is that he added libxt-dev to swt-gtk's Build-depend field. Which I think is not the correct way to solve the problem, the problem is actually in openjdk-6-jdk that it is the one that should build-depend on libxt-dev since openjdk-6-jdk's jawt_md.h header is what #include's X11/Intrinsic.h.

I do not want to add this as a dependency for now. apparently openjdk-6-jdk is needed for a tomcat installation, and I don't want to require the x-stuff on such an installation. one possibility would be a new package which has this dependency (i.e. openjdk-6-jdk-cni?)

[Onkar Shinde (onkarshinde)]

Or as already discussed in some other bug create a jdk-headless package and let tomcat depend on that.

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

Tomcat 6 (libtomcat6-java) depends on "default-jre-headless | java6-runtime-headless" so it shouldn't be affected if the depend was added to the openjdk-6-jdk package ?

I'm working to fix Tomcat 5.5 so that it depends on "default-jre-headless | java2-runtime-headless" so it shouldn't be affected either.

Thierry,

Doesn't tomcat need java compiler to compile JSP files?

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

Onkar:
Tomcat uses the eclipse compiler JAR (in libecj-java) together with headless JRE to provide JSP compiling features. So it doesn't need a full JDK.

Hello,

  I see that libxt-dev is in Recommends now, I'm not sure if that is good enough or what. So is this bug closed or what ?

[أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) (aelmahmoudy)]

I see that tomcat5.5 now depends on "default-jre-headless | java6-runtime-headless" as Thierry suggested, so couldn't libxt-dev be added to Depends of openjdk-6-jdk now ?
