 Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:07 pm Post subject: Xindice java-config bug? |
 |
|
Xindice 1.0 builds fine. I can access the web page at locahost:4080, but xindice is not listed in my
| Code: | | java-config --list-available-packages |
list. I should be able to add xindice when I | Code: | | java-config --set-system-classpath= |
I'm assuming this is because xindice is installed in /opt rather than in /usr/share. Can this be fixed? Should it be fixed?

| My guess would because that program is not a Java Runtime Environment or a Java SDK. java-config is only used for the different runtime/jdk environments (ibm, sun, blackdown) |

That would be a wrong guess. 
java-config is also used to set classpath according to which java packages you have installed, like ant, jdbc drivers, etc.
| Code: |
dan@chaos dan $ java-config --list-available-packages
[ant] Java-based build tool similar to 'make' that uses XML configuration files. (/usr/share/ant/package.env)
[jdbc-mssqlserver] JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server 2000. (/usr/share/jdbc-mssqlserver/package.env)
[jdbc-mysql] MySQL JDBC driver (/usr/share/jdbc-mysql/package.env)
[jdbc3-postgresql-7.3] JDBC3 Driver for PostgreSQL (/usr/share/jdbc3-postgresql-7.3/package.env)
[postgresql] "" (/usr/share/postgresql/package.env)
[xindice] Xindice XML DB (/usr/share/xindice/package.env)
|
Then I can set my system classpath using the above packages as described in my earlier post.
Notice that Xindice is included, but I had to manually create /usr/share/xindice/package.env and this is not a long term solution, IMO. I think that file should be created by the install and xindice should be installed in /usr/share (so we dont have files all over the place).
I dont mind "fixing" the ebuild myself and submitting it to bugs.gentoo.org, but my question is "should it be fixed?" Is there a reason for choosing /opt over /usr/share? If so, should java-config be hacked to look in /opt/<package> for package.env?
TIA
