jdk1.1 isn't mutually exclusive with the old jdk package, so you can install both at the same time. I am planning on renaming the jdk package (version 1.0.2) to jdk1.0 to reflect that. Using update-alternatives to change the symlinks pointing to java, javac, javah, etc. is a pain though. And even worse, it's undocumented. We need a nice package for switching those links around. > Now I can't re-install javalex and java-cup as > java-virtual-machine and java-common are not provided by the new > packages. Oops, that looks like a bug. Nobody reported it. I'll fix that up this week. I haven't uploaded newer versions yet - since I don't use them. I don't know if they work with jdk1.1 or not. Does anyone else want to take over javalex and java-cup? > What is the correct combination of packages to install? If you re-install jdk-common and jdk-static (don't purge jdk1.1-*), then you should be able to re-install javalex and java-cup. Hopefully, they work with both jdk 1.0.2 and jdk 1.1.1 - if not, I'd like to know. Sorry for the inconvenience... Cheers, - Jim
