| One of our longstanding goals has been for Raspberry Pi to ship with a complete set of common programming languages. Until now, there’s been one glaring omission from this list: Java, which by some estimates is the most popular language of all (duck and cover – flamewar incoming). It’s therefore fantastic to be able to announce that we’ve added the official hard-float Oracle Java 7 JDK to our repository. Oracle Java offers significant performance advantages over OpenJDK on ARM platforms, and will expand the range of Java applications that run well on the Pi.  It’s a long time since I’ve used a hotel room TV without plugging a Pi into it. This trip has been no exception. All future Raspbian images will ship with Oracle Java by default; existing users can install it by typing:
We’d like to thank our friends at Oracle for their hard work in making this possible. |
