Fedora 9 lands carrying OpenJDK 6 and more for developers

Dev Fu focuses on the fresh and free OpenJDK 6 in Fedora 9 (Sulphur) because this is great news for developers. Especially developers who want to use the best software because it’s free and it doesn’t suck. However, there is much more of interest for developers than just OpenJDK:
  • Developers using Fedora as a workstation/laptop to develop on:
  • Developers targeting the environment for applications:
    • D-Bus improvements
    • More libvirt, the virtualization API
    • ext4, begin working now with the next iteration of this stable and standard file system
    • XULRunner now the common engine for Gecko using applications
    • Common dictionary used across applications fixes proliferation of dictionaries
    • freeIPA provides a common account system that can be adopted for an application
    • As Java based applications begin to get packages in to Fedora, many should land in Fedora 9. Hear that, JBoss.org fans?
    • … and OpenJDK 6!
  • Developers managing systems, such as testing and build:
For a good general overview of Fedora 9, read Fedora Project Leader Paul W. Frields article in Red Hat Magazine, “Fedora 9: Get yours and get involved“. The full feature list for Fedora 9 is also a good read.
