Also of interest, ClarkConnect has a beta OX 0.8 - I assume they have "legal" java rpms - they seem to have renamed them, but worth investigating what they use:

ftp://beta.clarkconnect.com/3.0/beta/
http://www.clarkconnect.org/projects/groupware.php

I don't see source rpms anywhere though :-(

An alternative to ibm or sun's jdk would be java-1.4.2-gcj-compat from jpackage.org - Looks like that package is on its way into Fedora Core 4:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/SRPMS/java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_30rh.src.rpm

Googled a bit of info here:

Well, if you can get it installed ok, kudos  :roll: . I've just been resolving dependencies for half an hour, and I think this is really just for CentOS 4, not 3.x.

Java doesn't say you can't use anything, you just need to contact them for redistributing (haven't taken a closer look though).
I wouldn't be surprised if this is what clarkconnect did.

I have had little luck with classpath either, but I won't give up just yet.

I found 22 of the used packages in 3.5 repositories, so that's a good start.

Looks to me like they used the ibm java - which according to http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux140/jre-info.html ibm java 1.4.2 can be included with your product if:
Quote
You want the Runtime Environment for Linux to be installed in your product's directory and used only by the product.
You want to limit testing to a single Runtime Environment for Linux. This allows you to ship your product with a controlled environment.


And sorry, I shouldn't have put a link to that FC4 rpm, try the 'generic' one on jpackage:
http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/1.6/generic/free/RPMS/java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-6jpp.noarch.rpm - it should require libgcj rpms from Centos.

It doesn't matter, I tried the src rpm, and even that failed miserably.

error: Failed dependencies:
        gcc-java >= 3.4 is needed by java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-6jpp
        libgcj >= 3.4 is needed by java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-6jpp

Ow yes, there it is again, we need everything upgraded to 3.4 (which is really, CentOS 4)

Same for classpath, anyway, requires gcj 3.4 (gcc-java 3.4)

I get the idea looking at the clarkconnect approach is our best bet...

Just did some reading in the sme7 docs, and noticed it is supposed to end up as centos4 based.

I'll see how it works out for me to try and fork my search for a better java base in 3.5 aswell as 4.0 (using the upgrade howto)...

First, thank you all for such an effort.
Groupware is an important part of a local network and having such a package is a major option for the SME.

I installed on a SME7A19 without any error messages.

1. Resources
when I click on <Add Resource> I get this:
Code: [Select]
The requested URL /server-manager//cgi-bin/Resources was not found on this server.

2. Localization
Where do I add a language? Or is it too early in the dev stages...

3. Save settings
ERROR!Settings could not be stored in directory!

4. Public Folders
I cannot find how to add/access public folders. Can someone give me a hint?

Ok, having a bit of a problem today,

Did an clean install of 7.0 alpha 19, and used the rpm package created by Dark Mirage.  Used the Server-Manager panel to enable Open Exchange.  Used the Server-Manager panel to add a new user.  Reset the user password and everytime I try to login, I get Authentication Failed.  Checked the OX logs in the /ox/var/log folder and there error only states Authentication Failed, no code or anything.  

What am I doing wrong?

1. Resources

You're right, it should be pointing to OpenXchange instead of Resources.. (link is in /etc/e-smith/locale/en-us/etc/e-smith/web/functions/OpenXchange)
Will fix it soon..

That's exactly what it is, it's in the roadmap...

3. Save settings

Users will be allowed to change their pref's in the next update...(This should be optional later on)

4. Public Folders

Try right clicking as admin? Haven't tested yet...

Quote from: "dmac"
Authentication Failed

I guess you checked sessiond and groupware logs?
Maybe any ldap messages in /var/log/messages?

Btw, I do hope you meant /usr/local/ox/var/log folder

@DarkMirage: maybe something for the future in the manager panel -> activating and setting mailbox quota's?!

Jester.

OpenXchange plugs into the imap server,
so that should be handled by sme..?

SME7 will be Centos 3, not 4.  AFAIK, SME8 will be Centos 4, but I don't think work will begin on that until the bugs are all squashed for SME7.

Other bad news, according to Markus Klein (@open-xchange.org)...this is from a response to a message I posted on the ox-devel mailing list:
Quote

> Has anyone tried to get open-xchange to work without the non-free java

This doesn't work because WebMail uses directly some classes of
com.sun.mail
for direct imap commands. This has to be rewritten if you want to use classpathx
javamail API instead of Sun's javamail API.


I think our best bet is to check out further what ClarkConnect is doing.
