[feature request] java 7

[morenoh149]

Hello. I'm really enjoying fiddling around with the free web hosting, thanks!
I tried to install java 6 and 7 for myself but ran into errors on bolt.sonic.net. Basically the recent javas need at least glibc_2.3. The output of

Code: Select all

 ldd -v /bin/sh

shows the highest version of glibc is 2.2

Anyway, if you are upgrading the servers anytime soon I'd like to kindly request the inclusion of java 7. I'd really like to play around with java/clojure webframeworks like http://pedestal.io and http://playframework.org. Thanks.

also git! I was really disappointed I couldn't install git, even from source. I'm sure an admin could easily install it using yum or rpm.

You do have to think of the fact that both are resource-consuming, Java in terms of memory and CPU usage and Git in terms of hard disk space (one git clone command is easily enough to exhaust your disk quota).

It may be possible to run Git if GNU make has enough prerequisites to compile it only in your directory, but I wouldn't count on that.
