I have 7.04 running and came across this page which details building a
java dev environment on ubuntu feisty...

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

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.

Those instructions are woefully outdated, and do not apply to feisty (note the
author was using breezy). Both the Sun JDK and Netbeans are included in the
Feisty repositories. Simply run:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk netbeans5.5

This will install the Java 6 and Netbeans 5.5. Eclipse is also included in the
repositories, along with several plugins. You may have to run
update-alternatives to use the Sun JRE instead of the GCJ one.
