We are proud to announce the release of IcedTea6 1.4.1.
The IcedTea6 project provides a harness to build the source code from
OpenJDK6 (http://openjdk.java.net) using Free Software build tools.
What's New?
-----------------
- Fixed version string: Set PRODUCT_NAME to OpenJDK, unless doing a CACAO
build (set to IcedTea).
- Plugin fixes.
- Re-implemented VisualVm.
-----------------
The tarball and nosrc RPM can be downloaded here:
