I'm doing some Java development and I'd like to use my Debian box as one of the development platforms. Trouble is that I need the swing and infobus libraries for this project and they're not included with the Debian JDK. I can download these puppies from Sun but how do I install them so that I don't have to explicitly list the jar files in a classpath, and not violate the convention of installing software in anything but /usr/local or /opt?
If anyone has a good solution for this I'd be interested in hearing it. Thanks, Gary
