== Installing the JDK ==

If you want to install the Java compiler as well as the runtime environment, the easiest thing to do is to [https://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp get it directly from Sun]. Take care to use the "Linux self-extracting file" version. Converting the RPM with {{{alien}}} will not work.

Then follow the instructions as set forth on JavaPackageBuildNewVersions to create a .deb file you can install using {{{dpkg}}}.

Java for i386

  1. Add the hoary-extras repository (AddingRepositoriesHowto)

  2. Search for sun-j2re1.5 in synaptic and install it.

NB: the hoary-extras mirrors seem to have problems now (24 aug). JRE an JDK debs (i386) can be grabbed from http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl too

This will configure the Firefox Java plugin. Alternatively, you can build your own Java package by following the instructions on JavaPackageBuildNewVersions.
