so actually the only thing you need, is to make java rpms to own /etc/.java oook? As for additional info, when the directory do nto exists, then there is no admin setup, so java is doing right to use its own settings, or not? (In reply to jiri vanek from comment #1) > so actually the only thing you need, is to make java rpms to own /etc/.java > oook? > Yes, I think the default should be that. Administrators using applications that store system preferences using the Java API expect that when an update of the JVM is installed those preferences stay. Currently on a JVM update it doesn't find the preferences because they are on the old release ${java.home}/.systemPrefs. > > As for additional info, when the directory do nto exists, then there is no > admin setup, so java is doing right to use its own settings, or not? IMHO The directory should exists by default so it doesn't store in ${java.home}. JVM updates on Fedora are not done on the same directory, every update create a new one like /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.131-1.b12.fc25.x86_64 I remember there where discussions about the hidden /etc/.java directory but I don't recall there was a decision to remove it. Maybe there was but I can't find references to it. Only other packages patched to not warn about it, like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770972 Note: Java 8 checks for /etc/.java/.systemPrefs not only for /etc/.java See http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk/file/687fd7c7986d/src/solaris/classes/java/util/prefs/FileSystemPreferences.java#l168 |
