Description Naveed Hasan 2008-10-25 02:58:37 UTC 
Using java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.0.b12.fc10.x86_64 and running 'java -version', I get:

java version "1.6.0_0"
IcedTea6 1.3.1 Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b12, mixed mode)

The version string "1.6.0_0" and build id "1.6.0_0-b12" appear to be in contradiction to any of the the options for this specified at http://java.sun.com/j2se/versioning_naming.html

The version string shows up in various programs that try to check the version of an installed Java, which makes it hard to do things with it on a programmatic basis. Can this be fixed?

The latest Sun release has "1.6.0_10-b33" as a build id. Maybe something like "1.6.0-openjdk-b12" or "1.6.0-icedtea6-1.3.1" would serve the purpose here.

Thanks,
Naveed

New upstream has support for more precise version display, including configuring with --with-pkgversion to show the fedora package version.
Comment 2 Naveed Hasan 2008-11-15 04:56:00 UTC 
Under java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-4.b12.fc10.x86_64 -

java version "1.6.0_0"
IcedTea6 1.4 (6b12-Fedora-10) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode)

The version string and build identifier are the same as before. Does something else need to be updated?
Comment 3 Mark Wielaard 2008-11-17 10:38:07 UTC 
The spec file currently configures with --with-pkgversion=6%{openjdkver}-Fedora-%{fedora} that should be --with-pkgversion=%{release} or --with-pkgversion=Fedora-%{release}-%{arch} to include the actual distro version.

Provide full fedora package release version and arch

Adding both ${release} and ${_arch} will provide the user with the most precise information (handy when they report a bug).

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
IcedTea6 1.4 (fedora-5.b12.fc9-x86_64) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode)
Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 04:13:23 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.
