Hi
I've just read the Debian GNU/Linux Java FAQ and i installed sun's j2sdk on my debian unstable with a lot of difficulties.
I've read in the FAQ that a debian installer for sun's jdk1.4 is to be made so i'd like to help doing it.
As i often install debian on some friend's computers, i need a simple way to install a single debian package for full java toolkit.
So if i can help doing this, please tell me how i could start.
Matthias Klose already packaged the jdk1.4 from blackdown:
http://swt.cs.tu-berlin.de/~doko/tmp/
http://swt.cs.tu-berlin.de/~doko/tmp/j2re1.4_1.4.1.01-1.1_i386.deb http://swt.cs.tu-berlin.de/~doko/tmp/j2sdk1.4_1.4.1.01-1.1_i386.deb
No need to reinvent the wheel.
If that's the original JDK he *may* be violating the license, since it only allows distribution under specific conditions and *unmodified*. Splitting the original download into a few debian packages can be seen as creating a derived work, i.e. modification of the original work.
In that case, downloading it from him *may* give you no license to use it, since Sun's license is non-transferable. [1]
IANAL, and all that.
cheers, dalibor topic
