I prefer the blackdown Java to the Sun version.
There was site posted on this list for Debian packages for 1.3.1 just
a couple of days ago. This version works fine for me.
ggeens@andor:/usr/share/fonts$ java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.3.0-FCS)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.3.0-FCS, mixed mode)
If you want to try, add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.informatik.hu-berlin.de/pub/Java/Linux/debian woody non-free
Note: skip the -docs package for now. It can't handle the 1.3.1 docs
from Sun.
