This package is built with the +IcedTea build and integration project and is thus free software. +It includes tools for developing, testing, and running programs +written in the Java programming language. + +apache-ant is a required dependency and you have to install it before +you build openjdk. However, you do not need to install Oracle's jdk, +since it's only a runtime dependency. + +pulseaudio is an optional dependency. It is needed for features such +as voice streaming and playback. + +This script imports the security certificates also found in Oracle's +jdk. You can override this behavior by invoking the script like this: + +KEYSTORE_NO_IMPORT=YES ./openjdk.SlackBuild + +The above line, however, will cause some programs to fail to estab- +lish secure connections. + +Before installing this package please consider any other jdk's/jre's +that you have already installed as they may cause conflicts with the +PATH, JAVA_HOME and MANPATH variables. + +After installing the package you will need to logout/reboot your machine +as it will add new files to the /etc/profile.d folder. + +This script may take a couple of hours to finish and will require +about 11 GB of disk space for its temporary directory. It defaults to +"/tmp/SBo" and you may redefine it by invoking the script like this: + +TMP=/your/temporary/dir ./openjdk.SlackBuild |
