OpenJDK and VisualVM

[Lillian Angel]

Hi,

Later this week, we anticipating have a release and new spins for Fedora 
10 and rawhide. NetBeans was recently updated in rawhide to 6.5, and 
OpenJDK+VisualVM no longer builds with it.

I have been working diligently trying to get visualvm building with the 
current state, but to do this the profiler tool needs to be built first. 
Since the 6.5 changes, the profiler tool downloads pre-built binaries 
during the process. We do not have all the jars in Fedora, and cannot 
include the prebuilt jars in our builds/rpms.

For the time being, VisualVM will be removed from the IcedTea6 head and 
Rawhide. It will still be present in Fedora 10.


Cheers,
Lillian
