I attempted to update the base and update repo lines in then base repo file with the url you provided but the group install for gnome desktop still gave the Java error.
I am not sure if I got this correct.
I updated the repo and did a yum clean all.
I am sure this is a basic question but I have something in correct if this should all this group install
What should I do differently so that the dev base and update packages get recognized.

What is strange is normally this error appears to be related to opengtk-X11 not jtk
I guess I can wait until the desktop or gnome groups get updated but I would like to attempt a fix to move past not having a gui.
Can anyone shed light on this

I downloaded the raspberry pi 2 centOs image. It was supposed to support X. The minimal image did not contain X or a desktop. I tried to install X and was not successful. I then tried to install gnome desktop from the available yum groups.
I got the error
Java-1.7.0-openjdk-headless-1.7.0.95-2.6.4.0.el7.armu7hl (updates)
Requires libations-headless-X11-2.0.so.0
I searched all available packages for this file and did not find one with the sources configured in the base image for yum libraries.
How can I get X and a web browser run on the centOs respberry pi 2.
I really would like gnome or kde.
Gnome SHOULD work from the devel repos .. it will not work from the released repos.
But, the GNOME is dead slow on the RPI 2. In conjunction with the community, we need some accelerated drivers, etc. to make xorg perform better on the RPI2 or RPI3 .. we have yet to give that much focus.
Look Here (base distro os builds): http://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/c71511-pass-1/
And here (updates): http://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/c71511-updates-1/
for things that are not in the released tree. We have closure on the released tree and not all packages for now.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
