Re: java

Streef,

I never had any problems with SUN Java on Sarge.
Sun Java 1.5 installed by the  method described below works with all
browsers including konqueror-browser.

I have installed:

ii  java-common    0.22           Base of all Java packages
ii  java-package   0.24           utility for building Java(TM) 2 
ii  java2-common   1              Common facilities for all Java2
environments

#If you want to install JDE (no development tools) just copy and paste
#script below into your termianl, it will download and install Java for
#you. If you do not have sudo configured on your machine, run line which
# start with sudo in su mode.

export JAVA_SDE=jre-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.bin 

# Comment out the above and comment out next line to install Java
Development environment. 
# Adjust name of the .deb package created by make-jpkg utility. 
# JAVA=jdk-1_5_0_01-linux-i586.bin 

# Go to a tmp directory 
cd /var/tmp  

# Install necessary utility tool make java.deb package 
sudo /usr/bin/apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y install fakeroot
java-package wget

# Download Java JDK package from SUN. 

/usr/bin/wget ftp://ftp/software/linsoft/java/sun/${JAVA_SDE}  


# create java package do as normal user
fakeroot /usr/bin/make-jpkg $JAVA_SDE  

sudo /usr/bin/dpkg -i sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update02_i386.deb 

If you want to install JDK use this script instead:
===================================================

export JAVA=jdk-1_5_0_01-linux-i586.bin 

# Go to a tmp directory 
cd /var/tmp  

# Install necessary tools
sudo /usr/bin/apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y install fakeroot \
java-package wget

# Download Java JDK package from SUN ftp site.

/usr/bin/wget ftp://ftp/software/linsoft/java/sun/${JAVA}  

# Create debian java package
# you must run this as normal user
fakeroot /usr/bin/make-jpkg ${JAVA}  

# install java package
sudo /usr/bin/dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0+update01_i386.deb  

Regards.
