Package: java-package Version: 0.42 Followup-For: Bug #504778
I created the same patch as Pawel, and it worked also for etch (oldstable). I installed the lenny version of java-package manually. The ubuntu patch is more complete, so it might be worth including that one. Some things are a bit different from the other sun-java versions: The package installs into /usr/lib/, not as the official packages into /usr/lib/jvm/, but that is not really a problem. update-alternatives --config java 1 /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java 3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java 4 /usr/lib/j2sdk1.6-sun/bin/java update-java-alternatives -l # does not recognize the new java version java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun not all alternatives are there, as far as I can see from update-java-alternatives -l -v. There are quite a lot of binaries, I mark the missing alternatives in update-alternatives with a * : ControlPanel java java_vm * javaws jcontrol keytool pack200 policytool rmid rmiregistry unpack200 orbd servertool tnameserv jexec HtmlConverter appletviewer apt extcheck idlj jar jarsigner java-rmi.cgi javac javadoc javah javap jconsole jdb jhat jinfo jmap jps jrunscript jsadebugd jstack jstat jstatd jvisualvm native2ascii rmic schemagen serialver wsgen * wsimport * xjc * xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so * firefox-javaplugin.so iceape-javaplugin.so * iceweasel-javaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so midbrowser-javaplugin.so * xulrunner-javaplugin.so * Ok, so far my observations.
