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!

Hi,

I can declare successful installation (using apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk) and successful launch of pretty much complex set-up OSGI based (Equinox/Jetty/RAP) web application.

This bug in OpenJDK still exists: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/845158
