I've just tried installing the j2sdk1.4 and j2re1.4 packages from a

Anyone else had this error and fixed it?

I don't want to remove j2sdk1.3 as it removes a load of other packages.

Yes, in general I would like to have them both installed too... for testing compilation etc...

I guess they should not conflict, and use the alternatives method, right?


What I've taken to do(ing) is installing both, from .tgz files, and then using a symlink and an updated $PATH and $JAVA_HOME/$J2EE_HOME variable to go back and forth...

it's not the Debian Way, but it works.
