I have the last JDK
http://www.elleonplateadodeojosrojos.es/blog/java_development_kit-jdk/
er…sorry i have no idea about it… and i cant simulate the problem here
Here is my suggestion
1) apt-get find to find another jdk version (1.5 may be)

2) Download JDK from sun and install manually < -- 100% working method

Hi,
I got following message when trying the command:
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
–>
Configuring sun-java6-bin
Operating System Distributor License for Java v1.1(DLJ)
and it’s stuck there. I cannot enter anything.
Any idea? Thanks.
try pressing tab. and then when ok is selected, press enter
The first line should have been
1) <your-mirror-site>/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/
Java 6 Update 11 on e.g. 8.04?
1) /ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/
2) download all *6-11-0ubuntu1_i386.deb and *6-11-0ubuntu1_all.deb
6-11-0ubuntu1_i386.deb packages
3) sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Thanks lonny27
better set your java alternative to be sure you are using the correct java/jdk version:
>update-java-alternatives –list
java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
>sudo update-java-alternatives –set java-6-sun
and don’t link java_home to a minor version because that will break after an update, better link to the symbolic link to the latest version
>export JAVA_HOME=”/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun”
Thanks soma, your tips is useful !
hi akumum, Vatar
nice tips, thanks for extra info
There is also
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
in ubuntu its much easier, just do:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extrasthis install everything that is needed like media codecs for mp3s and the such, as well as java.
