Java environment

Java environment

[Roy Lemmon]

Hi,

I would like to set up a java environment on guix. I have installed the
openjdk package. However it doesn't give access to commands such as the
compiler javac. I am unsure what package I need to install for this.

Note I have not used java before.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers
Roy.

Hi,

Have you tried installing the jdk output of the openjdk package?

With:
  guix install openjdk:jdk

You need to install icedtea:jdk or openjdk:jdk if you want the developer
tools.

Cheers!

Thanks very much Pierre and Guillaume,

Perfect. It works now. Clearly I need to read more about java, icedtea,
.jar files, .java files, .jnlp files ....

But at least I can compile and run such files now.

I have a similar question about setting up a python environment but I will
ask that in a separate email.

Thanks
Roy.
