Fedora Rawhide Gets IcedTea
Posted by Michael Larabel on August 31, 2007
It was just last week we were telling you about IcedTea packages for Ubuntu 7.10, but now for Fedora users IcedTea is available from Fedora Rawhide. Previously IcedTea could be built from source but it depended upon some non-free packages. The IcedTea packages in Rawhide and what will be available for Java in Fedora 8 includes java-1.7.0-icedtea, java-1.7.0-icedtea-devel, java-1.7.0-icedtea-demo, java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin, and java-1.7.0-icedtea-src. These packages are currently based on OpenJDK b18 and IcedTea 1.3. Also included with these RPM packages is the IcedTea browser plug-in based upon gcjwebplugin.
As we have shared before, IcedTea is Red Hat's project for the open-source version of Java (the OpenJDK).
