##Overview

##Module description

JPackage is a project which goal is to provide a set of Java software on Linux platforms. Its repositories can be used to get access to Java related packages not available in the official repositories of most Linux distributions. This module only focuses on systems which use the YUM package manager, ie. RHEL variants.

The following repositories will be enabled by default:

• jpackage-generic-free
• jpackage-distro-free (depending on the distribution)

One can also enable these extra repositories:

• jpackage-generic-devel
• jpackage-distro-devel (depending on the distribution)
• jpackage-generic-nonfree
• jpackage-distro-nonfree (depending on the distribution)
