** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * Netbeans has a "Depends: default-jdk | java8-sdk" even though it requires OpenJDK 11 to run. + * If a user has openjdk-8-jdk installed, the above Depends will be satisfied but he won't be actually able to run it. + * The Depends clause should be updated to "Depends: default-jdk | java11-sdk". + + [Test Case] + + With no OpenJDK installed: + 1. Install openjdk-8-jdk + 2. Install netbeans + 3. Verify that openjdk-11-jdk and default-jdk will be installed as well. + + [Regression Potential] + + * This moves Netbeans dependency to a (required) newer JDK. This could + cause some side-effects to a user that had openjdk-8-jre/-jdk installed + and expected that to be the default 'java' binary. In that situation, + installing netbeans will cause the default-jdk (ie. openjdk-11-jdk) to + be installed alongside openjdk-8, but the 'java' binary will now come + from openjdk-11. For such users the workaround is to run update-java- + alternatives. + + + [Original report] I just had netbeans 10 pushed to my Ubuntu 18.04 workstation. For netbeans 8.1 I was using openjdk-8 and did not have openjdk-11 installed so I didn't have to manage the versions. Netbeans 10 seems to require class file version 55.0. Dependencies should probably be changed on the netbeans package to reflect that. I think the issue is: Depends: default-jdk | java8-sdk This probably needs to be: Depends: default-jdk Or something more specific.
