RHEL 8 has icedtea-web 1.8.8. Recent Fedora has icedtea-web 2.0. A logical thing to try is to get source RPM from Fedora and rebuild with ‘mock’ for Rocky 9. ---

Is there any reference from RedHat that it ever existed in RHEL8 or that they removed it in RHEL9? ---

Not easy to find, at least. The [IcedTea - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IcedTea) reveals that removal of Java Web Start after JDK 9 is a likely influencer. ---

> [@jlehtone](#): > > Not easy to find Yes, that’s why I was asking. They are supposed to list packages that have been removed in the release notes, but I don’t remember seeing this one. ---

Red Hat explains here [Alternatives for Java Web Start deprecation on OpenJDK 9 / OpenJDK 11 - Red Hat Customer Portal](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3928891), the reason why icedtea-web is not present on RHEL 9. ---

Even this is an old thread: **Users of Rocky Linux 9 will be able to install [IcedTea-Web using EPEL 9](https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-9f5f9ff4e0) very soon** using `dnf install --enablerepo=epel-testing icedtea-web` – and thank you very much for taking this package re-review, @neil! ---
