OpenJDK is the place to collaborate on an open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition, and related projects.

There are two OpenJDK streams:

• JDK6
  
• JDK7
  

CentOS and OEL include a java-1.6.0-openjdk rpm in their yum repos and you can find java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin rpms for Fedora 9,10 & 11 at:

• http://www.icewalkers.com/rpm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin/fedora-core-9/
• http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

You can test your OpenJDK Java SE plugin is working by running the java jre jvm demo examples that can be found at:

• http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.5.0/demos/plugin/applets.html
  

Oracle Sun Java have announced betas of Java SE 7 and Java EE 6 !

• Java SE 7
• Java EE 6

Java SE7 will have :

• comprehensive support for file I/O
• Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP) to support stream connections over InfiniBand fabric
  

Oracle Enterprise Linux (and Oracle VM) is freely RE-distributable !
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Unbreakable+Linux

Yes, it's free download but also free to re-distribute including copyrights and trademarks, see the EULA for more details.

And theres now a public yum server for OEL that offers a free and convenient way to install packages from the Enterprise Linux and Oracle VM installation media via a yum client.

Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

Cuil is the world’s biggest search engine.

The Internet has grown exponentially in the last fifteen years but search engines have not kept up—until now.
Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as M$.

Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.

We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for being so patient.

I've just started helping to develop a CloudMade OpenStreetMap puzzle called map-saw and a spin off jigamap.
