java

['Forum Post]

if you'd like to install java using a repository (so it gets
automatically updated), follow these instructions :



1. open a terminal

2. type "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"

3. at the end of that file, put in "deb
http://ubuntu.tower-net.de/ubuntu/ breezy java" (replace breezy with
hoary if that's what you're using)

4. save & close

5. type "sudo apt-get update"

6. type "sudo apt-get install sun-j2re1.5" (or, for developers,
"sudo apt-get install sun-j2sdk1.5")

7. to link to firefox, type " sudo ln -s
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins"
