I am not sure this works with openjdk-7 but try to install
icedtea-plugin.
It seems to be available only in Sid.
I have never tried to mix systems before. I first thought of putting Sid into
my sources.list, installing icedtea-plugin and then commenting Sid out of my
sources.list. But that won't work will it? Becauseaafter adding Sid to
tehsources.list I would have to run update, would I not? And I don't want
everything updated to Sid.
So where do I go from here?
I'd recommend you to add this to your /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600
Then, when having both stable& sid in your sources.list, stable will always be preferred. Now, if you want to install something from unstable, you do:
# apt-get install -t unstable<package>
Cheers,
