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
No, it's the Blackdown J2SE
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.
and *these* debs are OK.
Thanks for setting that straight.
Would it be possible to host them on blackdown mirrors as well? All that's available on ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/debian/pool/non-free/j/j2se1.4-i386/ for example, are a few betas, but no final release.
That would also remove any kind of licensing confusion.
cheers, dalibor topic
