Openjdk vs. sun-java in Debian
Howdie, fellow Debianites!
I need somebody to explain to me in lay terms what's "wrong" with Java
in Debian. I'm running Squeeze and have recently bumped into two
Java-related issues:
1. The site http://ndt.switch.ch/ warns me about a missing Java Runtime
Environment and prompts me to install it. I checked with aptitude, and
sure enough, openjdk-6-jre is installed.
2. The game
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bp2k6/files/Bolzplatz%202006/Bolzplatz%202006%20v1.0.3/
won't work, and I'm far too ignorant of Java to find out what exactly
I'm missing. Is it that I'm running 64-bit and the game is 32-bit? Or
do I need a particular plugin? Or perhaps just a symlink to the right
binary somewhere? Or the proprietary Java from Sun? Or something else?
Also, in general, how can I know when something Java-related won't
work, is it the fault of the open Java I'm using or some wrong
configuration somewhere in my system?
Is there any simple, yet good howto on this?
