java5-jre and sun-java5-bin

[AC Perdon]

Hi,

Here is a another way to install JRE. I assume you have downloaded Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 , Linux self-extracting file from *
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp*


1.

sudo apt-get install build-essential

2.

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

3.

fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_08-linux-i586.bin

4.

sudo dpkg -i sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update08_i386.deb

5.

 sudo update-alternatives --config java

 When asking for which version you want to choose pick;

3 /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java

To Test:

java -version

I hope this help.

Regards,
AC
