Starting today, I would install from the blackdown debs available at
www.blackdown.org. But I already installed my system a little
differently. First, I installed Sun's 1.3 jdk. Then I installed
java-compiler-dummy and java-virtual-machine-dummy from the
debs. Finally, I set the symlinks in /etc/alternatives to point to
/usr/local/jdk1.3/bin/java and /usr/local/jdk1.3/bin/javac as
appropriate.
