RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2014-12-02 19:23:50 UTC 
This isn't java bug, but file bug.  The solution is exactly what is described in the initial description of the attached support case.  cafebabe magic file needs the following two rules:

>>4 belong      0x0033      (Java 1.7)
>>4 belong      0x0034      (Java 1.8)

Their addition changes output form:

$ file java{6,7,8}.class
java6.class: compiled Java class data, version 50.0 (Java 1.6)
java7.class: compiled Java class data, version 51.0
java8.class: compiled Java class data, version 52.0

to:

$ file java{6,7,8}.class -m magic 
java6.class: compiled Java class data, version 50.0 (Java 1.6)
java7.class: compiled Java class data, version 51.0 (Java 1.7)
java8.class: compiled Java class data, version 52.0 (Java 1.8)

The issue does not seem to be fixed upstream:

https://github.com/file/file/blob/master/magic/Magdir/cafebabe

I'm sure Jan can get this upstream rather easily.
