Hi John!

I installed edgy a few days back and got the latest sun jre from the
repo's, which I thought was 1.6 .

Hmmm... I don't know where you got that idea:

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=6.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=edgy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 6.10"

$ apt-cache search java|grep sun
jikes-sun - Wrapper for jikes using Sun Java classes
sun-java5-bin - Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0
sun-java5-demo - Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 demos and examples
sun-java5-doc - Sun JDK(TM) Documention -- integration installer
sun-java5-fonts - Lucida TrueType fonts (from the Sun JRE)
sun-java5-jdk - Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0
sun-java5-jre - Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0
sun-java5-plugin - The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 5.0
sun-java5-source - Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 source files

Using just standard repositories, you get that.

When I run java --version, I get this:
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu
4.1.1-14ubuntu7)

Did I miss something?

Something probably, cause:

$ java --version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-14ubuntu7)

$ dpkg -S bin/java
j2re1.4: /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/bin/javaws
java-gcj-compat: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.1-1.4.2.0/bin/java
j2re1.4: /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/bin/java
j2re1.4: /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/bin/java
java-gcj-compat-dev: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.1-1.4.2.0/bin/javac
java-gcj-compat-dev: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.1-1.4.2.0/bin/javah
java-gcj-compat-dev: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.1-1.4.2.0/bin/javadoc
java-gcj-compat: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.1-1.4.2.0/jre/bin/java
j2re1.4: /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/bin/javaws
j2re1.4: /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/bin/java_vm

So the way I see it there are two possibilities for java versions, 1.4 and
1.5. No 1.6, perhaps it'll be in feisty?
Sorry, I did mean 1.5 . But I don't see 1.5 in any of the responses you
listed...

So, why, if I have the java 5 jre and the java 5 plugin installed, does
the java --version report 1.4.2 ?
