Re: Java Environment (7.04)

Jack,

I'm fairly new to Ubuntu myself, but I'm a very old hand at Java
development. For some reason Kaffe is distributed with Ubuntu rather than
the Sun JDK/JRE. I've not found it a good choice.

Yop can download Sun's Java JDK1.6.0_02 from Sun (http://java.sun.com) and
Eclipse 3.2 (the best Java IDE)n from http://www.eclipse.org. I've used
Alien to convert the available RPMs to Debian packages and installed them
using dpkg. Seems to work pretty well and it's easier than setting up using
the general-purpose tat.gz files.. Make sure the the JAVA_HOME environment
variable is not pointed at Kaffe.

Regards,
*** Dowdell

I have 7.04 running and came across this page which details building a

After d/l'ing the jdk, the author says to execute this as a normal user
fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-6u2-linux-i586.bin

When I execute this, I get this -
~/Desktop$ fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-6u2-linux-i586.bin
Creating temporary directory: /tmp/make-jpkg.olfjh14729
Loading plugins: blackdown-j2re.sh blackdown-j2sdk.sh common.sh

sun-j2re.sh sun-j2sdk-doc.sh sun-j2sdk.sh

Detected Debian build architecture: i386
Detected Debian GNU type: i486-linux-gnu

No matching plugin was found.
Removing temporary directory: done

I'm assuming this didn't work because of the lack of a plugin named
jdk-6u2... Does this mean that I need to d/l the runtime (jre) of the
same release? (I did see a Java JRE 6u2 on sun's site) ...

Any input, as always, is appreciated.
