Java updates for 2024Q2
May 13, 2024. alienbob.
Three weeks ago, the quarterly (security and stability) updates to various Java source code repositories were released. This means, new packages for OpenJDK versions 8, 11 and 17 are now in my Slackware repository. It took a while but hey, here they are.
For OpenJDK 8 I still use icedtea to compile the Java sources because it is convenient. The more modern versions like 11 and 17 are easier to compile (plus, icedtea does not support them).
All of these Java packages are nowadays targeting Slackware 15.0 and newer. So, get one of these if you have a need for it (and do not install more than one of them):
OpenJDK 8u412_b08 comes as an openjdk package.
OpenJDK 11.0.23_9 (aka the 11.0.23 General Availability release) comes as an openjdk11 package.
OpenJDK 17.0.11_9 (aka the 17.0.11 General Availability release) comes as an openjdk17 package.
Have fun!

poppler-compat: updated to 24.05.0 (Slackware-current).
Install this '-compat' package if you are facing broken 3rd-party packages
after the 'poppler' package in Slackware-current gets updated.
