[Msys2-users] Status of Java?

[Andrew L. <ci...@wh...>]

Hi all,
     I posted something about Java back in '17 and was told that Msys2 
at the time didn't have a build. Fine, I downloaded stuff from Oracle 
and then "snuck" it into Msys2.

     The system that I did that for was a one off and I've basically 
lost it. I now need to build this sort of thing again. Wanting to keep 
things "legit" Msys2, no "sneaking stuff in", I looked in the package 
list at packages.msys2.org and found nothing under the keyword Java or 
java or jdk either in the base packages or packages.

     So after all of that waffle, what is the status of Java at the 
moment? Is it still a case of "sneaking" stuff in, downloading from 
Openjdk and then installing somewhere or have I got bad search terms and 
Java is somehow supported?

     Any thoughts greatly appreciated,

         Andrew

p.s. Anyone got JUnit working within Msys2?
