how to install java6 (phossal howto is down)

So, this howto should work. I tried it yesterday and it works now. It could be that you have to leave out the "" at update-alternatives. I cant try at the moment because im not @work.
Maybe someone can edit the wiki.


1) Download the jdk-6-linux-i586.bin from http://java.sun.com to the deskto

2) chmod +x jdk-6-linux-i586.bin

3) .\jdk-6-linux-i586.bin

4) mv jdk1.6.0 /usr/lib/Java6

5)
update alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/Java6/bin/java" 1
update alternatives --set java /usr/lib/Java6/bin/java
update alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/Java6/bin/javac" 1
update alternatives --set javac /usr/lib/Java6/bin/javac
update alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" "/usr/lib/Java6/bin/javaws" 1
update alternatives --set javaws /usr/lib/Java6/bin/javaws
update alternatives --install "/usr/bin/apt" "apt" "/usr/lib/Java6/bin/apt" 1
update alternatives --set apt /usr/lib/Java6/bin/apt

6) Test the installation

java -version
javac -version
ant
apt

For the record, it is: ...update-alternatives --install... , using the dash.

Hi Guys. I repaired those threads at Ubuntu Forums which had inspired phossal.com. Once I realized how useful phossal.com could be, I considered how little time I had to devote to it, and decided to remove that site completely. Like most of you, I have other projects I want to work on.

Material like that is much better displayed in quality forums like OPEN-XCHANGE and Ubuntu Forums.

Regards.

Okay, with the 2. howto it works fine. I had to add a few more commands but it works. This evening or tomorrow i will post it here so we can add it to the wiki because i think that is the best way to install the new java6

Let's hope the old phossal side comes back online. Otherwise we will steal the tutorial and store it in our wiki.

I also found this in the Ubuntu Forum:

http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Ubuntu_Java_JRE/JDK_installation

There are a lot of JDK Tutorials.

This comes close to the phossal's tutorial:

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=346938&highlight=install+jdk

I'm confused.

I have no java installed, thats why im trying to install it. In the wiki there is a link to a nice howto which is unfortunatly down.

I make a complete new install of ox to have no errors. Or better i try to get no errors. and this in the next 1 hour -.-

hmm okay the was very easy but okay.

Here is my error:

Where is your JAVA isntalled and did you have JAVA_HOME variable set and is "javac" in your path? ($JAVA_HOME/bin)

thx but the howto from http://phossal.com/thread?view=702216931 describe howto install Java 6 on ubuntu from the bin file.
And that is what i want.

The topic is "Install it the Ubuntu way" or "Install it the Debian way". They only describe the way you can install it. This has nothing to do with the system at all. Ubuntu comes from Debian at it is nearly the same so it is only a "religion" thing about the way you install java. They work all on a Ubuntu System.
