Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Description Jim Tyrrell 2011-11-14 16:44:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
sudo yum search jdk 
java-1.6.0-openjdk.i386 : OpenJDK Runtime Environment
java-1.6.0-openjdk-demo.i386 : OpenJDK Demos
java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel.i386 : OpenJDK Development Environment
java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc.i386 : OpenJDK API Documentation
java-1.6.0-openjdk-src.i386 : OpenJDK Source Bundle
java-1.6.0-sun-demo.i586 : Demonstration files for Sun JDK
java-1.6.0-sun-devel.i586 : Sun Java Development Kit
java-1.6.0-sun-src.i586 : Source files for Sun JDK



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.1

How reproducible:
sudo yum search jdk 


Steps to Reproduce:
sudo yum search jdk 
  
Actual results:
These items if the descriptions are right, are not labeled well
java-1.6.0-openjdk.i386
java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel.i386


Expected results:
java-1.6.0-openjdk.i386 -> should really be java-1.6.0-openjdk-jre.i386
java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel.i386 - >java-1.6.0-openjdk-jdk.i386

JDK and JRE are the words Sun has used around these for 10 years, using anything else is very confusing.  In a perfect world the JDK is the first one shown in the list as most Linux users, would want/need the full JDK.
