For Ubuntu 12.04 should I expect Isabelle2012 Jedit to run on Java provided with openjdk-7-jre package? Or do I have to install Oracle's Java?

Hi Slawomir,

For Ubuntu 12.04 should I expect Isabelle2012 Jedit to run on Java
provided with openjdk-7-jre package? Or do I have to install Oracle's Java?

the download bundle from isabelle.in.tum.de contains a suitable JDK on
its own. There should be no need for a separate JDK.

Hope this helps,
Florian

Even worse, arbitrary JDKs found in the wild are considered harmful.
There are just too many things that can go wrong when selecting a JVM and
making a package of it. The jEdit community does not even support OpenJDK
officially, although its 1.7 version is now much better than OpenJDK 1.6.

For Isabelle2012, you actually need Java 1.6, not Java 1.7. This will
change for the next Isabelle release, when everything will work uniformly
on a Java 1.7 from Oracle, on all platforms and without any free
parameters.
