Sun Java is available thru the Non-Free Repo for Squeeze, to add it you must add<\/p>\n
deb http:\/\/ftp.us.debian.org\/debian\/ squeeze main non-free<\/pre>\nto your \/etc\/apt\/sources.list file. If I\u2019ve never been clear about how to do that you must open the file as sudo or root in any text editor.<\/p>\n
Once this is done you update your apt with<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update<\/pre>\nThen essentially you type<\/p>\n
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk<\/pre>\nfor the Java Dev Kit or choose sun-java6-jre if you just want the JRE for the use of Java.. I tend to pick the JDK because a few apps like it over the JRE.<\/p>\n
Note: You can test your Java version with java -version and if you don\u2019t get a Sun Version of Java as a reply then you need to type this:<\/p>\n
update-alternatives --config java<\/pre>\nand select the newly installed java which is something like\u2026<\/p>\n
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing \/usr\/bin\/java).<\/p>\n
Selection Path Priority Status<\/p>\n
0 \/usr\/bin\/gij-4.4 1044 auto mode
\n1 \/usr\/bin\/gij-4.4 1044 manual mode
\n2 \/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-6-sun\/jre\/bin\/java 63 manual mode<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
and in my case I chose # 2<\/p>\n
You should be good to go now.. keep in mind this is just java..
\nif you want the plugin it\u2019s<\/p>\n
