#48651: Repeated JRE installation dialog when updating gettext -------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: bruce@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Keywords: JRE, Java, dialog | Port: gettext -------------------------------+-------------------------------- When updating gettext on a Mac (10.10.4, but I'm sure it's been an issue for several versions now) without Java installed, the user is prompted a few times with an apparently parentless GUI dialog to install the JRE. The dialog says, "To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment." with "More Info..." and "OK" buttons. This is a bit disconcerting the first time you encounter it, as you are probably off doing something else and it's not obvious what has triggered the behavior. On IRC it was suggested that this is probably triggered by configure script checking whether Java is present for auto-installation of Java- related components. It was also suggested that perhaps creating a +java variant would help to eliminate these dialogs. That sounds like a good idea to me, but I'm no expert. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48651> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
