Hi there,
Matthias has just landed in the Precise repositories an updated version of OpenJDK that comes with a newly updated Zero-based ARM optimized backend. Since many people have inquired about the general state of Java on ARM, I'd like it if we could get some installation and testing results using the packages published from the source at:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/openjdk-6/6b24~pre2-0ubuntu2
Installable packages are linked to from:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/6b24~pre2-0ubuntu2/+build/301...
Reports of installation issues, and general results trying to run from simple to complex applications would be appreciated.
Note there is no backport PPA for these packages at the moment. But it's still time to give them a xmas spin and give me the great news that Java on ARM is getting back on track -- thanks!
