Hi,

It seems the terms of use for the "Oracle Java Runtime Environment" have changed and now require a license in most cases.

In any case, my university is asking me to replace it as soon as possible with "OpenJDK" (https://openjdk.org/) in order not to have to pay a "site license".

Here's my question: is the localboot package "javavm" (provided directly by the "opsi" repository) intended to be replaced by OpenJDK?
I currently only use it for "opsi-configed" (and on very few PCs).

N.B.: "configed" works perfectly with OpenJDK under Linux, but I can't get it to run under Windows (an exception occurs in a "javaLang" class).

Regards.

Hello,

you don't need the javavm Package for opsi-configed as it already is bundled with an openjdk Java.
In most cases uninstalling java is helpfull when it is only needed for opsi-configed.
