IcedTea 7 provides the OpenJDK 7 development branch with IcedTea components to make it build under Fedora using entirely open source components. The package name remains the same in the repository, despite the trademark agreement allowing the OpenJDK mark to be used by Fedora, because it is considered too disruptive to rename it now.

Will I be able to install the openjdk-6-jdk on that? If yes, do you know how I do that when I only have ipkg available (no apt-get, and I can't figure out if apt-get can be installed on my Synology 107+)? I have tried to point my ipkg to http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/java/openjdk6-armel/ but ipkg (version 0.99.163) seems to fail to read the file named Packages: ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 1: `wget -q -P /opt/ipkg-TG8lPg http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/java/openjdk6-armel/Packages' I can see that http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/java/openjdk6-armel/ contains a file named Packages.gz, and inside that file, which might explain the error mentioned above.

If you are using the Debian armel port then you can simply install prebuilt openjdk deb packages by running: apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk this will give you the full j2se using the interperted zero hotspot. If you want a jit then cacao vm is available. You can simply add the debian sid repositories and install openjdk6 using cacao by running: apt-get install cacao-oj6-jdk There exists of course jre packages as well: openjdk-6-jre and cacao-oj6-jre. These packages require Linux kernel 2.6.24 or later compiled with EABI. The openjdk binarys do run on fedora core 8 ARM as well as can be seen on these screenshots: http://labb.zafena.se/?p=1 Cheers!

I have been trying hard (extensive web searches) to find a JVM that runs on low-cost SBCs using the ARM processor. I am encouraged to have found this group. The SBC I am considering using offers a Debian ARM Linux based distribution. Will OpenJDK run or Debian or should I switch to Fedora and use OpenJDK instead? Any help and/or web pointers would be much appreciated! Steve Please forgive this newbie’s question.
