03/06/04: Installing Java On Debian

These are some note on how to integrate Sun's J2SE SDK with Debian Testing. First read the FAQ. Next are some faster steps, commands are to be typed as root:

apt-get install equivs
cd /tmp
apt-get source java-common
cd java-common-022/dummy
for i in *.control; do equivs-build $i; done
dpkg -i *.deb

The exemple on the FAQ only registers the javacommand. They are many more programs in the SDK such as javadoc, jar, jdb, etc... Use my script to register all Java commands on Debian. You will need to edit the variable jsdkto point to the path of your Java SDK.
