When I go to http://www.java.com/en/ and click the link that asks "Do
I have java?", which opens
http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 then
the result is
that I don't have the recommended version for my browser (iceweasel).
I have removed sun-java6 and installed sun-java5, run the
update-java-alternatives command and still get the same result. The
recommended version of java the sun/java site is 6.1
Now it is quite possible that the site may default to that in order
to promote its latest release, so I am quite willing to consider that
another java-rich site may provide a better/more accurate test. Do
you know of any site that may prove a worthwhile place to test the
java installation?
I get the same thing. It looks like the java site is complaining
because the version in the repositories its 6.0 and not the newest
6.1. I personally haven't had any problems with the version of java
provided from the debian repositories. All the sites I have visited
have been just fine.
