[SOLVED] Java8

Good morning,
I wanted to replace my Freemind package with TranquilIT's, but it depends on the Java8 package. And when I try to install Java8 on my test machines, I get this error:
Code: Select all
Installing: dst-java8
WARNING: A Java Runtime Environment 8 (JRE) will be installed with WAPT since this package allow arbitrary install based on available package in a specific order
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\wapt\common.py", line 4234, in install_wapt
exitstatus = setup.install()
File "C:\Windows\TEMP\waptj7f36gpx\setup.py", line 35, in install
File "C:\wapt\waptutils.py", line 1956, in error
raise EWaptSetupException('Fatal error : %s' % reason)
waptutils.EWaptSetupException: Fatal error : ERROR: No Java Runtime Environment 8 (JRE) have been deployed on this system, please import and deploy the package adapted to your organization
EWaptSetupException: Fatal error : ERROR: No Java Runtime Environment 8 (JRE) have been deployed on this system, please import and deploy the package adapted to your organization
Currently, "Java 8 Update 251" (Oracle) is installed everywhere. I don't have an Oracle license. Should I modify the Freemind package dependency to match my Java 8 version, or is there a better way?

According to the code:
You must have one of these packages available in the repository:
"tis-adoptium-openjdk8-jre",
"tis-oracle-java8-jre-free",
"tis-oracle-java8-jre-nonfree".
Ultimately, you choose which Java version you want: the free one, the non-free one, or tis-adoptium-openjdk8-jre.

Hello again Gaël,
FYI
- tis-oracle-java8-jre-free is the last version of Java Oracle that did not require a license (so it no longer changes).
- tis-oracle-java8-jre-nonfree is the latest version offered by Oracle, but it requires a paid license.
- tis-adoptium-openjdk8-jre is the OpenJDK version which does not contain Javawebstart and the applet plugin, but otherwise is quite similar.
Sincerely,
Denis

Hello,
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what the "tis-java8" package is for. Isn't it supposed to install one of the Java versions?

Looking at the package code, I understand that I need to replace the "tis" prefix with mine in the list of Java packages to install. But then I have to avoid updating it, or remember to do it again each time.

Good catch, I hadn't seen that.
I'll correct the package.

Hi Gaël,
oops, indeed there's a package change that hasn't been rolled out to everyone yet. Simon is fixing it and will get back to you shortly.
Thanks for bringing the issue
Best regards,
Denis

Hi Gaël,
oops, indeed there's a package change that hasn't been implemented across the board. Simon is fixing it and will get back to you shortly.
We don't yet have conditional dependencies in the WAPT control file. We need to implement something like: `
Depends: (tis-oracle-java8-jre-free | tis-oracle-java8-jre-nonfree | tis-adoptium-openjdk8-jre)`.
Currently, the Java 8 package is handling this, but not correctly...
Thanks for bringing this to
Best regards,
Denis
