OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project layer for Java support ================================================= This layer provides support for Java for use with OpenEmbedded and/or Yocto Project build systems. This layer depends on: URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core branch: daisy revision: HEAD URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded branch: daisy revision: HEAD Contributing ------------ To contribute to this layer you should submit the patches for review to the mailing list (openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org). Please refer to: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Contribution_Guidelines#General_Information for some useful guidelines to be followed when submitting patches. Mailing list: http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel Source code: git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-java http://git.yoctoproject.org/git/meta-java When creating patches, please use something like: git format-patch -s --subject-prefix='meta-java][PATCH' origin When sending patches, please use something like: git send-email --to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org <generated patch> Main layer maintainers: Henning Heinold <henning@itconsulting-heinold.de> Mario Domenech Goulart <mario@ossystems.com.br> Maxin John <maxin.john@enea.com> Otavio Salvador <otavio@ossystems.com.br> Usage instructions ------------------ You should define at lease the following variables in a distro include file or local.conf PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/java-initial = "cacao-initial" PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/java-native = "jamvm-native" PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/javac-native = "ecj-bootstrap-native" For openjdk6: PREFERRED_VERSION_openjdk-6-jre = "6b24-1.11.9" or PREFERRED_VERSION_openjdk-6-jre = "6b27-1.13.4" PREFERRED_VERSION_icedtea6-native = "1.8.11" For openjdk7: PREFERRED_VERSION_openjdk-7-jre = "25b30-2.3.12" PREFERRED_VERSION_icedtea7-native = "2.1.3" Sometimes the following is needed: PREFERRED_PROVIDER_openjdk-6-jre = "openjdk-6-jre" PREFERRED_PROVIDER_openjdk-7-jre = "openjdk-7-jre For conf/bblayers.conf you have to add BBLAYERS ?= " \ ... path_to_source/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \ path_to_source/sources/meta-java \ " Please note that libstdc++ static is needed on your host to compile icedtea6/7-native (install libstdc++-static on a Fedora). For debian-based distributions you need the libstdc++6-$compilerversion-dev package.
