Hi all,
I have tried to install JDK5 on debian and it installed without
problem by running:
apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
which is version 1.5.0_08
but when I try to install java runtime using
apt-get install sun-java5-jre
however it is installed ok, but the version is 1.4
how can I install java runtime environment 1.5.0_08 as it is for
jdk? I need it because otherwise programs written in latest java
will not be run.
I haven't used the JDK for Java 5, but when I installed the JDK for
1.4.2, it included the Java runtime. Doesn't the JDK for Java 5
include the JRE as well? It'd be a bit strange if it included the
compiler and not the runtime.
Yes, the JDK does install the JRE. Look in the directory:
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/
and you will see a jre subdirectory. There is no need to install the
JRE separately.
I knew it did in the debs for 1.4.2 and know it does in the raw Sun
install for Java 1.6, but was not going to speak for the package in
between that I never used. Thanks for the verification.

Well, I removed it completely to install a fresh copy. I ran:
apt-get install java-package
to install appropriate bin package later but it can not find
"java-package". It is strange because "java-package" exists in debian's
packages list at "http://snapshot.debian.net/";. Can anybody help?
Thanks,
D.
