Problems with installing JAVA-tools

# 5 years ago
danyan90	Hello everyone, I am a newbie in Linux and Tango, so please forgive me, if my question seems stupid. I,m using Ubuntu 18.04 and I faced big installation problems of JAVA-tools. Here I found that Java >=9 doesn't support CORBA, that's why I installed open-jdk8 downloaded from here. Next I tried to install libtango package, but it requires default-jre. I can't install default-jre, because it's JAVA-11 version and it doesn't match. How to solve this issue? (I think, it's not a last question from me here, I'm sorry in advance) Attachments:

Pascal	Hi Until today, we are not ready for a jdk-11 distribution. I hope it will come soon. A work around is to download jboss-rmi-api_1.0_spec-1.0.6.Final.jar file. And add it at the beginning of CLASSPATH in java startup scripts. Another work around is to install jdk-8 on your machine. Note: Until today, Pogo (the Tango class generator), is compatible only with java 8 Regards Pascal

Reynald	If I were you, I would install default-jre, then libtango-java and then openjdk 8. You can then play with update-alternatives Linux tool to set the default java version to java 8. Rosenberg's Law: Software is easy to make, except when you want it to do something new. Corollary: The only software that's worth making is software that does something new.
