[Live-demo] Which version of openjdk should be included on OSGeo-Live 6.0?

[Frank Gasdorf]

All right. I just tested it on the 5.5 Release and it fails, because of missing
    javax.media.jai.JAI
class. The rendering sub-system requires the Java advanced imaging and
I guess there is no port for openjdk jet.
Because this exception is thrown from a geotools renderer class all
installations that requires geotools would fail. Could anybody confirm
my point of view?

Cheers,
Frank
