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: krogoth (or master) revision: HEAD URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded branch: krogoth (or master) 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 -M -s --subject-prefix='meta-java][PATCH' origin When sending patches, please use something like: git send-email --to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org Main layer maintainers: Henning Heinold Mario Domenech Goulart Maxin John Otavio Salvador Usage instructions ------------------ You should define at least the following variables in a distro include file or local.conf # Possible provider: cacao-initial-native and jamvm-initial-native PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/java-initial-native = "cacao-initial-native" # Possible provider: cacao-native and jamvm-native PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/java-native = "jamvm-native" # Optional since there is only one provider for now PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/javac-native = "ecj-bootstrap-native" Simply rely on openjdk-7-jre, openjdk-7, openjdk-8 or openjre-8. 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 icedtea7-native (install libstdc++-static on a Fedora). For debian-based distributions you need the libstdc++6-$compilerversion-dev package.
