Re: Java on ubuntu

I've found that for the Java installation to work using fakeroot from the
instructions in RestrictedFormats wiki page, the java bin name must be
exactly as it is written in the wiki -- u look like u have the right name;
did you install java-commons package also?

Interestingly I had this java issue on Ubuntu Warty almost a year ago. But
with the help of this list, I was able to set up the java environment
correctly and was pleased with the results. Then I received my Breezy CDs
and had it installed on another PC. The same issue of the correct java
environment came up again. I thought that based on my experience from Warty
I could applied some of it to sort my problem out. Alas,

I find that I can't get fakeroot to convert the jdk-1_5_0_06-
linux-i586.bin to a deb package so I can install java using dpkg -
command.
As suggested in the wiki, I tried

DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i386-linux fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_06-
linux-i596.bin
and still it is unsuccessful.

The default java command from the output of the 'update-alternatives
--config java' command is:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/java.

There are no alternatives for the javac command.

Now I had installed java manually under /usr/local and set my JAVA_HOME
environment
to point to /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_06

This still does not have any effect. i.e I cannot get it to point to
/usr/local/jkd1.5.0_06/bin/java.

If I set the javac alternatives from the /etc directory, the system tells
me that there are
no alternatives for javac.

So I in fact have two problems:

1. I cannot install java using the Debian way i.e using fakeroot

2. I cannot get the system to point to the manually installed java
directory even after the correct environment is set.

It seems that the default Ubuntu installation has precedence over the
manual installation.

I have downloaded the eclipse software which I am trying to test on the
platform but so far there is no correct
java environment to enable the testing.

The wiki on java is of some help but unfortunately could not work readily
for my case although some of the problems
described there applied to my system.

Some input on these would help sort the problem out as was the case when I
used Warty.

By the way, all the java files are downloaded from the Sun site.
