Sun appears to not have a linux/ppc JDK, so I found this page on IBM's website: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html There appear to be 2 choices: 32-bit and 64-bit. Which one do you guys recommend? We're using a 64-bit Linux OS on the signing box. D. To confirm, the whole JDK is needed (rather than just a JRE). I would assume you need the JDK that matches your architecture, so 64 bit. On the subject of deadline: we're hoping to be ready to start doing signed builds this week, so ASAP is really the answer. The earliest we'll be ready is evening of April 4 (tomorrow). (In reply to comment #2) > To confirm, the whole JDK is needed (rather than just a JRE). I would assume > you need the JDK that matches your architecture, so 64 bit. > I would recommend the 32 bit one, if you think will ever be used with Eclispe and SWT. See bug 125608 (around comment 7). I guess advantage to 64 bit one is it would be faster, if you were not using Eclipse and SWT. this is just for signing and packing so no UI. Having said that, there may be some merit in using 32 bit to reduce bug potential (32 bit VMs likely see much more use and testing than the 64 bit ones) Java 1.5 64-bit has been installed on build.eclipse.org /shared/common/ibm-java2-ppc64-50/bin/java Closing as fixed D. |

This request is to install the Java 1.5 JDK (do we need the JDK?) on build.eclipse.org and modify the signing scripts to perform signing on build.eclipse.org. John, Jeff, please indicate the deadline for us getting this done. D.
