  • Java6 and Debian Etch

    Hi,



    I have a problem with java.

    I need install Open XChange on Debian Etch. But before i need java.

    the package sun-java5-jre didn't work. i dont know why!

    i know that java 5 is now EOSL:

    Sun's implementation of J2SE 5.0 reached its End of Service Life (EOSL) on November the 3rd 2009, which is the date of the final publicly available update of version 5.0 (J2SE 5.0 Update 22). Extended support is available to customers through Sun's Java for Business program.


    So i used sun-java6-jre.

    But with following the install guide for Debian Etch,

    i always cannot continue configure open xchange because he cannot find java



    Code:
    update-alternatives --config java
    
    Il y a 3 alternatives fournissant « java ».
    
      Sélection    Alternative
    -----------------------------------------------
              1    /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1
     +        2    /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
    *         3    /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java

    In fact it is a problem with java, but i want to know if we can use java6 with Etch or it is necessarily to have java5 for Etch.

    Else, i need upgrade my Etch in Lenny. Not kewl :/

    Greetings,

      i 'm looking these guides.

      It is strange. I choose alternative 3 but it didn't work.

      Code:
      # update-alternatives --config java
      
      Il y a 3 alternatives fournissant « java ».
      
        Sélection    Alternative
      -----------------------------------------------
                1    /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1
       +        2    /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
      *         3    /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
      
      Appuyez sur Entrée pour conserver la valeur par défaut[*] ou choisissez le numéro sélectionné :3
      Utilisation de « /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java » pour fournir « java ».
      
       # java -version

        Have you tried uninstalling GCJ? Seems to be some spooky stuff with update-alternatives.

            omg i think update-alternatives is dead !!!

            i install manually java following this guide:

            Code:
            wget http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=37391
            
            mv jre-6u18* jre-6u18-linux-i586.bin
            
            sudo mv ./jre-6u18-linux-i586.bin /opt/
            
            cd /opt/
            
            chmod +x jre-6u18-linux-i586.bin
            
            sudo ./jre-6u18-linux-i586.bin
            
            sudo ln -fs /opt/jre1.6.0_18/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
            
            sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jre1.6.0_18/bin/java 1
            sudo update-alternatives --config java
            
            sudo rm -fr jre-6u18-linux-i586.bin
            on my alternatives i have jre-6u...
