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.

hi folks,
which (external) java-package works with konqueror-browser under sarge?
tried several blackdown and sun packages (1.3.x, 1.4.x) but could not
see any applet. guess i missed something.
by the way: read the how-to on java.
(and, i know.... using java can be a real nuisance)
