Hello,
I have quite a few issues with the default OpenJdk package on CentOS 5.4 x86_64 (e.g. crash of Eclipse [1], and now excessive permgen memory requirement causing the JVM to freeze and requiring a kill -9).
These issues do not appear with a local build of the latest stable IcedTea [2], so I am considering using a more recent version of the JVM (I am not running Red Hat certified Java apps).
Does anyone know of ongoing efforts to provide recent versions of the JDK as (S)RPMs?
I found some in CentOS Testing [3] but they date back from July 2008 and are b09 whereas current is b16.
Thanks in advance for any hints!
Cheers,
Mathieu
I also see more issues with the latest OpenJDK packages (1.6.0.0-1.7.b09.el5) than with the release before (1.6.0.0-1.2.b09.el5). It seems the -1.7.b09 sometimes hast jvm crashes if memory gets low.
