JDK on OpenBSD

843798Jun 12 2007 — edited Jul 16 2007
Getting a JDK on OpenBSD is horrible. Sun should support openbsd users that are interested in using their overlicensed product, and provide binaries like they do for other OS'. Or, at least allow people to make packages for openbsd with java that might include that incredibly long document as a preamble and requisite for installation of the package. OpenBSD's package system is not as robust as apt-get, but it does a great job of delivering reliable working binaries. Sun should rely on it, and further spread its influence across all platforms...

I have read posts that are archived about this topic. Mostly students. I am always a student, but am not using openbsd in school, I am using it in the real world. Archived posts tells me that people are talking about it but no action is being taken. Time to post.

Come on SUN!!!!! Get with the program, kids. Java JDK shouldn't be this hard to get on openbsd.

I agree! I am in the process of getting jabber openfire to run on OpenBSD, and it requires java, and JDK doesn't support sparc64 architecture... how annoying.
