| == Sun Java directly from Sun == Note: See above for the preferred method installing the non-free / restricted Java packages. Blackdown Java is non-free. It is a direct port of Sun's Java implementation, and is subject to the same licenses, as stated in the [http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/docs/faq/FAQ-java-linux-2.html#intro-licensing Blackdown FAQ]. The only current advantage of using Blackdown over Sun is that Blackdown is to have the the i386 package show up in apt. Those interested in a free (GPL) Java implementation may wish to look at [http://www.kaffe.org/ Kaffe], which is available in the universe repository. Go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp and click on “'''Download JRE 5.0 Update 7'''”. Ensure you do ''not'' choose one of the JDK or J2EE versions unless you are going to develop Java applications. You must first accept the licence, then click on “'''Linux self-extracting file'''” (jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin). Save this file to your hard drive. Make the downloaded file executable. At the command line, change to the directory where you downloaded the file, and type: {{{ chmod +x jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin }}} Install the {{{fakeroot java-package java-common}}} packages. If you get an error when installing java-package, you need to enable the multiverse repository (see ["AddingRepositoriesHowto"]). Use ''make-jpkg'' to translate Sun's bin file into a debian package: {{{ fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin }}} {i} ''Note: You can see warning mesages like the ones below, but there is nothing to worry about.'' {{{ mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/.java': Permission denied ./jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin: line 507: /usr/share/mime-info/java-archive.keys: Permission denied }}} {X} ''Note: If you get an error similar to this:'' {{{ Loading plugins: blackdown-j2re.sh blackdown-j2sdk.sh common.sh ibm-j2re.sh ibm-j2sdk.sh j2re.sh j2sdk.sh j2se.sh sun-j2re.sh sun-j2sdk.sh No matching plugin was found. }}} Try: {{{ DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i386-linux fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin }}} or similar command if you are not using i386 architecture. Install the created package using ''dpkg'': {{{ sudo dpkg -i sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update07_i386.deb }}} {i} Note: in above example, ''i386'' might have to be ''i586''. === Sun Java SDK (Software Development Kit) === Note: Outdated; see above for the preferred method to install the sun-java5 packages. Install the {{{sun-java5-jdk}}} or {{{j2sdk1.4}}} package. The same procedure can also be used to install Sun's Java SDK instead of just the runtime environment (JRE). Just choose "'''Download JDK 5.0 Update 7'''" when downloading the package from Sun, and replace the file name with '''jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin''' |

| Note: Outdated; see above for the preferred method to install the sun-java5 packages. Install the {{{sun-java5-plugin}}} package. Installing Java without following the previous steps does not alert Firefox to its presence. If you simply executed the .bin file you downloaded, you will need to tell Firefox or Mozilla where to find the plugin library: If you do not have a .mozilla/plugins directory in your home directory, create one: {{{ mkdir -p /home/username/.mozilla/plugins }}} Then create links to plugin files: {{{ cd ~/.mozilla/plugins ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so sudo ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/ }}} You can skip these steps if you used the make-jpkg command. If you have downloaded more than one, you need to modify the command to be more specific. Note: For 6.06 Dapper the links have changed (at least for the installation via the new licence package), so try this: {{{ cd ~/.mozilla/plugins ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ }}} == Java on amd64 computers == Note: Outdated; see above for the preferred method to install the sun-java5 and j2re1.4/j2sdk1.4 packages. Unfortunately, Sun's Java for 64-bit PC's does't work very well yet, but the Blackdown version of Java works and is available in the Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) Multiverse repository. Just install the {{{j2re1.4 j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin}}} Afterwards restart Firefox and you should have a working Java plugin. |

= Java Runtime Environment and Firefox plugin for amd64 = Installing the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in the amd64 version of Ubuntu 5.04 is (as of September 2005) not possible using apt-get and must be done manually. As Sun now provide an amd64 version, users may choose between Sun's and Blackdown's versions of the JRE. Note, however, that as of version 1.5, Sun does not include a Mozilla/Firefox plugin so if this is required, you'll need to use the one from Blackdown. The JRE (both from Sun and Blackdown) is packaged in a self-extracting binary file. This gives us two possibilities for installing. The first is to run the installer as intended by the vendor. This method should work, but will install files into the system which are outside the grasp of apt, potentially making it harder to upgrade or track down the changes. The second method is to use some tools to create a .deb file of the package which we can then install using "dpkg -i <name>.deb". This makes it simple to remove or update the package at a later date. Both methods should work equally for the Blackdown and Sun versions. In this document we will assume you are using the Blackdown version j2re-1.4.2-02 available here: [ ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/JDK-1.4.2/amd64/02/j2re-1.4.2-02-linux-amd64.bin ]. If you download a different version, please adjust the version number accordingly. The Sun JRE is available here: [ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp ]. == Method one == Make the self-extracting shell script executable {{{ $ sudo chmod +x j2re-1.4.2-02-linux-amd64.bin }}} Move the package to the desired install directory {{{ $ sudo mv j2re-1.4.2-02-linux-amd64.bin /usr/local }}} Change to the wanna-be install directory {{{ $ cd /usr/local }}} Extract the contents of the package {{{ $ sudo ./j2re-1.4.2-02-linux-amd64.bin }}} == Method two == Install some tools for converting the Java package into a .deb file: {{{ $ sudo apt-get install fakeroot java-package }}} Make the self-extracting shell script executable {{{ $ chmod +x j2re-1.4.2-02-linux-amd64.bin }}} Convert the package to a .deb file: {{{ $ fakeroot make-jpkg j2re-1.4.2-02-linux-amd64.bin }}} This process will ask a few questions such as your name and email. It will also display a licence agreement to which you must type "yes". After some time the script will finish and produce output similar to this: {{{ "The Debian package has been created in the current directory. You can install the package as root (e.g. dpkg -i blackdown-j2re1.4_1.4.2+02_amd64.deb)." }}} Finally, you can install the package as instructed using apt's dpkg: {{{ $ sudo dpkg -i blackdown-j2re1.4_1.4.2+02_amd64.deb }}} |

Selecting the default Java version
In Ubuntu 6.06 or 5.10, if you want to use Sun's Java instead of the open source GIJ (GNU Java bytecode interpreter) you need to set it as default. Run:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
and select your preference from the list.
To get common java applications (installed using .deb-packages) to run under your JVM of choice, make sure you also edit the JVM configuration file: and add the line: Packages such as ant starts the first JVM found in this file.
You may find that Java is disabled, even though it is set up correctly in the "Configure Konqueror" Dialog. Select "HTML Settings->Java" from the Tools menu to enable it.
Sun Java5: Install it from the Applications -> Add/Remove... menu, or install the sun-java5-plugin package.

Note: This page is only for users of Ubuntu 5.04. Users of Ubuntu 5.10 and 6.06 should see RestrictedFormats for the Sun Java5 and Blackdown Java2 1.4 packages.
Providing the Mozilla/Firefox plugin is available in your distribution of the JRE (currently Sun's doesn't include it), you can create a symbolic link to it inside the Mozilla and Firefox plugins directories. Apparently copying the plugin will not work. The installation directory will vary depending on whethere you installed using method one or two, so both are documented below: For method one: Or for method two:

Due to Non-Free status of most Java implementations, Ubuntu does not include Java support natively. See RestrictedFormats. There are two places to get Java for Ubuntu PPC: IBM and Blackdown. There was a Talk Page at ["JavaPPC/Talk"].
IBM produces a Java Development Kit (JDK) for its POWER computers, which happens to also work on PPC. They are the only place to make available recent versions of Java for PPC Linux. Their recent versions consist of versions 1.5.0 and 1.4.2 of Java. They also have a 1.3.1 version, but there is no reason to use that. This page will not discuss the use of IBM's 1.3.1 version. The 1.4.2 JDK is known to work on G3, G4, and G5 Macs, as well as older 604e and 603e Macs. The 1.5.0 JDK is known to work on G3, G4, and G5 Macs, and it is not yet known whether it works on older 604e and 603e Macs. It is not yet known whether either one works on non-Mac PowerPCs. Please update the Wiki if you have more information! To get IBM's JDK, go to http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html, and choose an SDK for 32-bit iSeries/pSeries. Be sure to get the 32-bit version even if you have a G5. You may choose to download both the latest 1.5.0 and 1.4.2 versions and install both if you wish. In any case, periodically check that page for newer Service Releases, and repeat the process described here whenever there is a new one. There is currently no way to keep track of which Service Release you are on under Ubuntu, so make a note of it. As of this writing, SR1 is the latest of the 1.5.0, and SR5 is the latest of the 1.4.2 version. You will have to register before being allowed to download anything. When you reach the download page, download the TGZ version of the SDK.
To use the TGZ with Ubuntu, you have to convert it to a DEB. Make sure you have the tool make-jpkg installed from the Multiverse repository (See ["AddingRepositoriesHowto"]): If you are still using Breezy Badger, you will now need to upgrade the version of the package you just installed. To do this, download [http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/j/java-package/java-package_0.27_all.deb this file] to your desktop and type: Now convert the 1.4.2 TGZ and install the resulting DEB: Now convert the 1.5.0 TGZ and install the resulting DEB: Note on libraries: the IBM Java binaries depend on libstdc++5 and libgtk1.2 packages. At least in Dapper it's possible that these libraries are not installed. In this case, make-jpkg will give a lot of warnings about not being able to find dependecies for library files. To get the dependencies set correctly (and to get the Java to work at all), make sure you have installed libstdc++5 and libgtk1.2 To set the new JRE or JDK as the default, you may need to update your Java alternatives. Run the following command then, when prompted, choose your preferred Java environment from the list. If update-alternatives tells you that there is only one Java environment, continue onward! If you chose to install both 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 versions, you may run this command at any time to switch the one subsequently opened Java applications will use. The one that the Firefox and Opera web browsers use will be unaffected. Which one the Konqueror web browser uses, and whether or not it would be affected, depends on your KDE system settings. If you installed a 1.4.2 version, regardless of whether or not you installed a 1.5.0 version, and your processor is not a G5, you must perform yet another step to get it to work. For a G3 or G4, use the following command: For a 604e or 603e, instead use: You may have to log out or restart the computer for this to take effect. IF you installed the JDK, the following code tests that everything's working. Open a terminal, and try this for version 1.4.2: To try version 1.5.0: If you see a Tic Tac Toe game, it worked! If you installed the JRE, you don't have an appletviewer or any demos so try whichever program it was that led you to install java in the first place! Neither the Firefox web browser nor the full Mozilla suite can use version 1.4.2, but they can use 1.5.0 if you configure as follows: To control which Java the Konqueror web browser uses, go to your KDE system settings. Select Internet & Network -> Web Browser -> Java & JavaScript, and change the Path to Java executable to either /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-ibm/bin/java or /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm/bin/java. To control which Java the Opera web browser uses, go to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Java options, and change the path to either /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-ibm/jre/bin or /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm/jre/bin. Test the installation at the Sun Java [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml test webpage]. If the gcj webplugin is given preference over the Java plugin you installed, you can disable the gcj plugin by using the instructions below: Known Issues
Blackdown has been porting Java to various platforms for the past few years. However, their most recent effort for PPC is Java 1.3.1, and their browser plugin does not work with recent versions of Mozilla or Mozilla-based browsers.

You have to change a few files in your editor. Here it is what you need and what you have to edit.
First install Ubuntu's packages fakeroot, java-package and java-common. Note that Anchor(makejpkg) java-package resides in the multiverse repository, see http://www.ubuntu.com/support/documentation/faq/helpcenterfaq.2004-09-16.3469703387/talkback/1127809506/view for help on adding the multiverse repository to your apt sources. or http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/java-package Go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp and download the self-extracting Linux files (that end in .bin).
Skip this step if you're running Ubuntu Hoary (or later). Change to the directory /usr/share/java-package/. Look in the file sun-j2sdk.sh for the part with: Now add between this part and the "esac" following new lines: For the Java Runtime Environment you have to edit sun-j2re.sh. Go now below the part and add in front of the "esac":
Please do not run the package build with real root rights because the Sun installer would install some not necessary files with absolute file paths in your system without package builder control! (If you got "make-jpkg: command not found", you forgot to install [#makejpkg java-package]) or and follow the instructions on screen. Note: the build may fail with this error: This is due to a bug in dpkg-architecture on newer systems. Run dpkg-architecture and find the line similar to: Next, run sudoedit /usr/share/java-package/sun-j2sdk.sh (or sun-j2re.sh) and change line 6 from i386-linux to your architecture (most commonly i486-linux-gnu).
The Debian/Ubuntu package has been created in the current directory. You can install the package as root (e.g. sudo dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb). To configure java to use the newly installed package, you should configure the java alternative : sudo update-alternatives --config java To confirm you successfully installed it, you can merely type in java -version in the command prompt. Reinhard Tartler says: An updated version of java-package is now available in breezy universe. It allows to build debs for newest JDKs. --- Daniel T Chen September 1 2005 : Using Breezy's current java-package to create an IBM Java2 (1.4.2) JDK deb successfully symlinks the appropriate Web browser plugin but does not install the necessary dependencies, which are libxp6 and libgtk1.2. Please install these two additional packages if you plan to use an IBM Java2 JDK on Breezy. CategoryDocumentation CategoryCleanup ContentsBRTableOfContents
Java-package contains the tool of choice for installing non-free releases of Java on Ubuntu. make-jpkg will convert the Java installers from Sun, IBM, and the Blackdown Project into .deb packages you can manipulate with the standard package management tools. Using package management to control your various Java installations has several advantages, not the least of which is browser plugin control.
New Java releases can often require a java-package later than the one available in a stable operating system. For example, as of this writing the java-package in Ubuntu 5.04 cannot cope with any Sun releases later than Update 2, and the one in Ubuntu 5.10 does not handle IBM's version 5. Since stable releases probably won't provide a newer java-package as quickly as you might like, you will need to get it yourself. Using apt pinning to lock java-package to the latest version available will make this painless and transparent. And finally, since java-package has simple dependencies and nothing else depends upon it, pinning is very straightforward and robust.

confirm debian as a secure source
add debian contrib as a repository
only debian package that can ever be installed is java-package, and it will upgrade properly to activate debian contrib to check to install attachment:IconsPage/IconNote.png As you can see, pinning a package from a particular repository is quite easy. You might want to consider using pinning with any package you get from a non-Ubuntu source.

(Without the complicated 'chroot' method) With this method you can't use the original 'Firefox' from Ubuntu and this new installation at the same time, but it doesn't matter because you won't use the default navigator anymore 1 - Install suport for 32 bit applications : 2 - Download firefox 32 bit version from www.getfirefox.com http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-1.5&os=linux&lang=en-US (Another kind of installation is in FirefoxNewVersion which however differs in some details (installs into /opt; replaces regular /usr/bin/firefox with a new command), but I never tested :S ) 3 - Untar the downloaded file like you allways do in Ubuntu, and go inside the directory : 4 - Create a folder for the 32 bit firefox installation, and copy firefox there : 5 - Create the execution files for 32 bit firefox : sudo gedit /etc/pango32/pangorc & ModuleFiles=/etc/pango32/pango.modules [PangoX] AliasFiles=/etc/pango/pangox.aliases sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/firefox32 & 6 - Make it executable : 7 - Check if your new 32 bit firefox is working : firefox32 & 8 - To install flash, download linux 32 bit flash player from 9 - Install flash player : 10 - Check if your new Firefox is working with flash, restart the browser and visit : http://www.macromedia.com firefox32 & 11 - To install Java player to run applets, go to http://www.java.com, and download the linux self stracting file for 32 bit linux computers (I was surprised to see than this file works in amd64 bits Breezy installation) : 12 - To install java : 13 - Restart firefox32 and check if java is working : firefox32 & 14 - Visit : http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp 15 - Add an icon at the top panel to start this 'cool' browser : 16 - Enjoy the net ! IMPORTANT NOTE: Thanks for your attention, kisses Albert Palacios Good luck. This tutorial has been modified, these are some notes from the tutorial before last changes (which hopefully solved these problems)

$ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/j2re1.4-blackdown/plugin/amd64/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so
Manually install the latest Java Update (Only if the previous instructions failed) (not for amd64)
$ su -
# cd /usr/java
# cp <get.the.latest.java.rpm.bin> java.rpm.bin
# chmod 744 java.rpm.bin
# ./java.rpm.bin
say "yes" to licence
# cd /path/to/firefox/plugins (ie /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/plugins)

Explanation
Firefox 1.5, Flash and Java in amd64 Ubuntu Breezy installations
This is currently working in Dapper 6.06 rather well. You can run Flash and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox, just follow these easy steps :
, for this reason is a good idea print this manual and shut down Firefox browser.
(or go where the uncompressed file is)
Then create another file :
Next add this text to the file :
(it says warnings but doesn't matter)
(When the installer asks you for the 'navigator path', write : /usr/local/firefox32/)
(this file name will depend on the java version you download)
If you are having problems with segmentation faults when trying to use the browser's or email client's "Open" or "Execute" methods for opening data files or attachments in helper applications (such as 'evince' for PDFs), then try this alternative method:
Change the files 'firefox32' and 'thunderbird32' to read #!/bin/sh export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libpangohack.so.0 linux32 /usr/local/<firefox/thunderbird>32/<firefox/thunderbird> $@
Note that this method is untested AFAIK - please post any potential issues with it. Many thanks to 'lychee' from the forums.
