[chef] Re: Java cookbook error on OSX

[Joshua Timberman < >]

Hello,

As Krzysztof said, the default package provider on OS X when using Chef 11 or earlier is Macports, so the package resource is attempting to determine the state of the "openjdk-6-jdk" package using the "port" command. Since you don't have Macports installed, that fails.

However, it's worth noting that the java cookbook does not support OS X for Java installation at this time. Since Apple makes Java installation available through their own means[0], I don't know that it would be in scope to attempt to support it using the "package" resource.

Also note that in Chef 12, homebrew will be the default package provider for OS X[1].
