Where I can find out java from Sun? Lot off aplications asking about java, Libre Office included, but I can't find java-sun rpm-s. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
CC: (none) => ennael1Component: New RPM package request => RPM Packages
Hardware: i586 => x86_64
Libre Office can be used with OpenJDK. Most applications can be used with OpenJDK, which is free software. I don't know if it's really worth it to import Sun java.

If you plan to import java-1.6.0-sun in Mageia non-free, the current packaging used by Mandriva should be improved to remove a dependencies loop. I just saw that the mdv bug 51098 has been closed, but it is not fixed. https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=51098 see also this thread on AUFML-rpm (french ML) http://www.mandrivafr.org/pipermail/rpm/2009-March/000357.html regards, Luc

As Nicolas said, try installing libreoffice-java-common and it'll pull java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0, which works with libreoffice.
Component: RPM Packages => New RPM package request
Is this resolved?

If ease of use matters to us, having the sun java packaged would be a real plus. Whereas I prefer to use openjdk whenever possible, sometimes as a user you can really need to use some applications which can't work without sun's java. Installing it from the official website is not as easy as "urpmi java-sun", so having it packaged would be added value.

If a sun java package is added in the repository, I think we should check first that it won't be installed as dependency for something that could use openjdk, if sun java was not requested explicitly. And check that it does not create dependency problems. And this is maybe not the case with current package from Mandriva.
java-1.6.0-sun is imported in nonfree
