Hi there, I've just installed some processing software under debian which requires a "JDK 1.2" to run. It seems to just need a java executable to run no graphics or anything. So, can anyone suggest a debian package for woody that would provide me with an equivalent to the JDK 1.2? I have seen the various jdk1.1 and kcaffe packages on the woody CDs and on www.debian.org, but I can't seen anything that would provide anything suitable. Hope someone can help. Cheers. David.

Well, if you're after "pure sun" jdk 1.2, you're out of luck - the common apt sources for java, ie: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.blackdown.org/java-linux/debian potato non-free ...only give you jdk 1.3. If it's only a jvm you're after, you could try running it in kaffe. Otherwise, your best bet is to grab the tar.gz binary from java.sun.com, and install it in /usr/local/ or /opt or whatever the politically-correct FHS-compliant location is this week.

Just what I was looking for, downloading right now. Assuming that 1.3 is backward compatible with 1.2 right??

I do prefer installing .deb's than .tar.gz's for this exact reason, now I've cleanly rebuilt my servers with woody. Will be back if it bombs out... Cheers. David.

sun makes it available for linux afaik. Try: http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/download-linux.html or just http://java.sun.com/j2se/
