NAME

java-vm-2.eclass - Java Virtual Machine eclass

DESCRIPTION

This eclass provides functionality which assists with installing virtual machines, and ensures that they are recognized by java-config.

SUPPORTED EAPIS

FUNCTIONS

java-vm-2_pkg_setup

default pkg_setup

Initialize vm handle.

java-vm-2_pkg_postinst

default pkg_postinst

Set the generation-2 system VM, if it isn't set or the setting is invalid. Also update mime database.

java-vm-2_pkg_prerm

default pkg_prerm

Does nothing if eselect-java-0.5 or newer is available. Otherwise, warn user if removing system-vm.

java-vm-2_pkg_postrm

default pkg_postrm

Invoke "eselect java-vm update" if eselect-java 0.5, or newer, is available. Also update the mime database.

get_system_arch

Get Java specific arch name.

NOTE the mips and sparc values are best guesses. Oracle uses sparcv9 but does OpenJDK use sparc64? We don't support OpenJDK on sparc or any JVM on mips though so it doesn't matter much.

java-vm_install-env

Installs a Java VM environment file. The source can be specified but defaults to ${FILESDIR}/${VMHANDLE}.env.sh.

Environment variables within this file will be resolved. You should escape the $ when referring to variables that should be resolved later such as ${JAVA_HOME}. Subshells may be used but avoid using double quotes. See icedtea-bin.env.sh for a good example.

java-vm_set-pax-markings

Set PaX markings on all JDK/JRE executables to allow code-generation on the heap by the JIT compiler.

The markings need to be set prior to the first invocation of the the freshly built / installed VM. Be it before creating the Class Data Sharing archive or generating cacerts. Otherwise a PaX enabled kernel will kill the VM. Bug #215225 #389751

  Parameters:
    $1 - JDK/JRE base directory.

  Examples:
    java-vm_set-pax-markings "${S}"
    java-vm_set-pax-markings "${ED}"/opt/${P}

java-vm_revdep-mask

Installs a revdep-rebuild control file which SEARCH_DIR_MASK set to the path where the VM is installed. Prevents pointless rebuilds - see bug #177925. Also gives a notice to the user.

  Parameters:
    $1 - Path of the VM (defaults to /opt/${P} if not set)

  Examples:
    java-vm_revdep-mask
    java-vm_revdep-mask /path/to/jdk/

java-vm_sandbox-predict

Install a sandbox control file. Specified paths won't cause a sandbox violation if opened read write but no write takes place. See bug 388937#c1

  Examples:
    java-vm_sandbox-predict /dev/random /proc/self/coredump_filter

ECLASS VARIABLES

JAVA_VM_BUILD_ONLY = "${JAVA_VM_BUILD_ONLY:-FALSE}": Set to YES to mark a vm as build-only.
