-How to Install Sun Java as a Debian package
-===========================================
-
-In short:
-
- (root) > apt-get install java-package
- (non-root) > fakeroot make-jpkg <java-binary-package-name>.bin
- (root) > dpkg -i <created-package-name>.deb
-
-
-Step 1 - Get the Sun JVM
-------------------------
-Get the latest Sun JVM from here http://java.sun.com/, i.e.
-
- jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin (48974825 bytes)
-
-
-Step 2 - Install the Required Builder Package
----------------------------------------------
-Installing Java on Debian is not the simplest thing in the world but
-fortunatly the package 'java-package' will do most of the work for you
-(assuming it works):
-
- > apt-get -u install java-package
-
-Make sure that your repository is fully upto date before installing
-this package or you might run into problems installing the latest JVM.
-You also need fakeroot if you don't have it.
-
-
-Step 3 - Create the .deb Package File
--------------------------------------
-You have to perform this step as a non-root user so I suggest using
-your own account. Create a temporary directory and copy the java .bin
-installer file into it. Then run the command:
-
- > fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin
-
-changing the name of the Java .bin package if you need to.
-
-
-Step 4 - Install the Java .deb Package
---------------------------------------
-You need to be root to perform this step so switch now. Then execute
-the following command:
-
- > dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb
-
-Of course you need to specify the correct package name if yours doesn't
-match the name specified in the above command.
-
-
-Step 5 - Check it Works
------------------------
-This should be the simplest step. Just execute the command:
-
- > java -version
-
-as both root and another user to make sure everything is installed correctly.
-
- java version "1.5.0_06"
- Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
- Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
-
-
-Other Tasks
------------
-1) Removing the Java Packages
-
- Should you ever want to remove any of the Java packages you have
- installed you can do that with a command like this:
-
- > apt-get remove sun-j2sdk1.5
-
- which would remove the package installed above. If you can't remeber
- what packages you have installed try searching the apt-cache for the
- word sun e.g.
-
- > apt-cache search sun
-
- that should turn up the package but will match quite a lot of others
- as well.
