Doc Text:	The java-1.8.0-openjdk package for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 did not provide the "java" virtual package. Consequently, when a package needed to use OpenJDK 8, it was necessary to require "java-1.8.0-openjdk" instead of commonly used "java". Now, it is sufficient to require "java" as expected.

Description Katerina Odabasi 2015-02-05 16:03:57 UTC

Description of problem:
With RHEL6 java-1.8.0-openjdk package doesn't contain in provides "java" (it contains only "java-1.8.0-openjdk".
This breaks compatibility with packages from EAP channel which requires "java".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.31-1.b13.el6_6

How reproducible:
always

Actual results:
# repoquery --provides --plugins java-1.8.0-openjdk
java-1.8.0-openjdk = 1:1.8.0.31-1.b13.el6_6
java-1.8.0-openjdk(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.31-1.b13.el6_6
...

Expected results:
The package also provides "java"

Comment 3 Tim Savannah 2015-03-11 15:14:49 UTC

Indeed, 1.7.0 and prior base openjdk contained everything needed to run java, and -devel contained the devel stuff... as expected.

1.8.0 base package contains awt and an icon. This is bad.

Comment 4 jiri vanek 2015-03-11 15:49:33 UTC

by base, you mean headless?
If headless contains awt then this is wrong.

Otherwise headless+jre still provides all what you need to run jva application (and devel to develop)

Not sure how your comment is related to misisng virtual provides.

Comment 6 jiri vanek 2015-04-09 12:16:50 UTC

Latest build contains virtual jre provides
