Dear release team,

the LTS team would like to change the default Java environment from
OpenJDK 6 to OpenJDK 7 in Wheezy-LTS and complete most of this
preparation with the last point update for Wheezy. This will ensure
that Java applications can be supported for the whole LTS cycle until
2018-05-31. Please see the following thread for a short discussion on
debian-lts. [1]

I intend to do the following but the Release Team is only concerned
regarding point 1. I list the rest for completeness:

1. Allow the usage of OpenJDK7
==============================

I have identified 18 packages that either strictly depend on
openjdk-6-jre or on openjdk-6-jre | sun-java6-jre or a similar
combination. In order to allow users to use OpenJDK 7 these runtime
dependencies must be changed to default-jre | java6-runtime, so that
both Java runtimes continue to work and nobody is forced to use the
unsupported OpenJDK 6.

Do you prefer that I file separate bug reports for each of these
packages or do you prefer to track everything with this bug report?

2. Making OpenJDK 7 the default Java runtime
============================================

The change is rather trivial and requires an upload of java-common.
However I intend to convince the rest of the LTS team to postpone the
switch to give users more time to update and test their applications
with OpenJDK 7 before we do the switch. Especially people who use
Java in server environments (e.g. Tomcat 6 or Tomcat 7) might see
changes in the behaviour of their applications, therefore we should
give them more time to prepare for the switch.

Please tell me how we should proceed, if you agree with point one. The
changes are trivial and will not change current setups. I can do the
uploads any time.

Regards,

Markus

This should go through LTS at this point, wheezy is EOL so we won't be
making these changes through proposed-updates.  Closing.
