[Bug 313162] Re: Trouble installing java on a fresh ubuntu install

[Michael Brooks]

Wow,  its cool to have someone to talk to.   Yeah i just didn't read
the CLI output,  I had to download the doc's from sun's website.  The
java documentation is installed but eclipse doesn't see it.  The
reason why eclipse is so popular is because of its auto completion and
built-in java doc.  Its shocking to see eclipse without it, i had to
download the binary distribution from sf.net .   Like i said there is
a bigger issue here if you are assuming that people people won't use
Java on Ubuntu  or that people don't need to see documentation while
writing code.

I have everything working now,  but I couldn't use apt for all of it
which is unfortunate.

Thanks,
Michael.

Really the bigger issue here is that Ubuntu doesn't come with the most common programming language in the world,  Java,  by default.     Ubuntu should also come with flash,  because i'm sure 99.999999% of people have to install it manually and then you get hacked because it will never be up to date.
