Hi All,
Since I updated to java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.3-2.2.1.0.2.mga2, My java applications are taking a much longer time to start. This only seems to be happening to my desktop though as my laptop does not show the same problem. If I uninstall version 1.7 and leave version 1.6, the applications return to "normalcy" as it relates to starting up. My concern is that if I permanently remove the update, some of the applications may not function properly. I recall seeing that some aspect of the recent kernel update required java-1.7. I can't remember exactly, but when I try to remove it it gives a warning of a number of programs which may not function. I don't mind using version 1.6 but I would like to know that it's not going to affect anything important.

Cuz.

Then just select the older java as default via running the following as root:

Code: Select all

update-alternatives --config java

But the questions would be: Why did you "update"? As this is no real update, rather two different versions which can be installed concurrently, like with the different PostgreSQL versions ...

Thanks. It works. I believe it was part of an update package, so I just went along with it.
