The java-package
Debian package will go through the
process of installing the Sun Java. It supplies the command
make-jpkg to do this.
Obtain j2sdk-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.bin (this
is the J2SE kit) from http://java.sun.com. It is a 34MB file so
over a modem that could be 3 hours or so!
Once available turn it into a Debian package:
$ fakeroot make-jpkg j2sdk-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.bin
You will be asked for a Maintainer name for the package (you can give
your name) and an email address (again, use your own). These are just
pieces of information for the packaging, and have no consequence. The
debian package that is generated can then be installed:
$ wajig install sun-j2sdk1.4_1.4.2+03_i386.deb
|
The manual approach for this is to save the file into
/usr/local/. Then
# sh j2sdk-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.bin
To accept the license type yes and the installation will begin. This
will create a new directory in /usr/local/ with the name
j2sdk1.4.2_03. Now create the necessary links:
# ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_03/bin/* /usr/local/bin
To confirm it is installed:
