Unofficial j2se-package with support for java (> 1.5 beta 1)

2004-09-06 Thread Robert Derochette
Hi, I have modified j2se-package in order to make it work with java 1.5 (> beta 1). Because when run as root the default installer of java 1.5 puts UNWANTED files in /usr/share, this version uses unzip to extract all the files from a sun binary installer (well this is true for java 1.3,

I thought that I understood that the package itself was not FREE not that the software to make the package was not FREE? E.g., the j2sdk is NOT FREE but the software that creates the package IS FREE. Therefore, one could include the script in java-common and ALL parts of the java-common are FREE.
