[ale] Fedora 19 and Java 7

[Scott Plante]

Which specific JVM are you using? (OpenJDK/IcedTea vs Oracle vs IBM etc., and if Oracle, JDK 1.7.0u25 or something earlier?) 


Have you tried installing Java 7 on F17 to isolate whether the problem is related to F17->F19 or Java 6 -> Java 7? 

Is this software you purchased, or open source, or your company's own creation? 


I'd guess it's not a 6->7 incompatibility, but I suppose it's possible. We haven't had any Java software quit working upgrading to 7, but we did have some Cisco management app that quit working after 1.3 or 1.4. It's intended to be upward compatible, but that can never be guaranteed 100%. Sometimes software *depends* on a bug to operate. Other times an added attribute or method causes a conflict I suppose (but I'd think that would be more of a compile time problem). If you have source, I think we could definitely help you sort it out.

Hello all! 


I just installed F19 on my work system, and am trying to run a java app from the command line. I have run it before on F17/Java 6 without issue, but cannot now. 


I keep getting java MalformedURL and UnknownHost exceptions, and have done all that I was able to find online about such errors (/etc/hostname, /etc/sysconfid/network, /etc/hosts), to no avail. 


The machine has 2 network cards, one of which I am not using. 


Any advice would be appreciated.
