Java

[Matthew Franz]

You can build your own java package and then install the freemind.deb file

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Java

I chose option 2

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install java-package java-common fakeroot

download the sun jdk from java.sun.com <http://java.sun.com>
** edit /usr/share/java-package/sun-j2sdk.sh to reflect the actual JDK
1.5 release version.

$ fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin
$ sudo dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0_i386.deb (this reports an error but
is completed in next step)
$ sudo apt-get install sun-j2sdk1.5debian
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java (see next step for dependancy errors)
$ sudo apt-get -f install (fix dependancy errors if required)


And it ends up like:

Description: Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition, Sun Microsystems(TM)
The Java(TM) 2 SDK is a development environment for building
applications, applets, and components that can be deployed on the
Java platform.
.
The Java(TM) 2 SDK software includes tools useful for developing and
testing programs written in the Java programming language and running
on the Java platform. These tools are designed to be used from the
command line. Except for appletviewer, these tools do not provide a
graphical user interface.
.
This package has been automatically created with java-package (0.19).
