Re: [Swarm-Support] swarmapps-objc-2.2 test version available

[Giovanni Maniscalco Basile]

It is not so easy!
 The rpm doesn't find jdk:


error: Failed build dependencies:
        jdk = 2000:1.5.0 is needed by swarm-2.2-1_SuSE_9.2
whereas my jdk is 1.5.0_01 and I corrected the path on swarm-2.2.spec.
What should I do?
