I can't install sun-java5-jdk package in the latest Karmic Koala beta release. It gives me the next message.
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package sun-java5-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package sun-java5-jdk has no installation candidate I really need the Java 5 version of the JDK for development and testing, and like me there should be a lot of users. |

Re: Can't install Sun java 5 JDK in Karmic Koala
Get java5 from the Jaunty repository.
Java5 should be put back in the Karmic repository. I too have a project that only works on Java5 and apparently I'm not alone. I did see this tidbit: http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-archive/2.../msg00004.html So to get the repo for java5 add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates multiverse Steveolyo |

Re: Can't install Sun java 5 JDK in Karmic Koala
Can you not use Java 6?
Support can't be maintained forever on a particular version... security issues, bugs and all. |

If I can't have Java5 in Karmic I won't upgrade to it, as I'm sure many Java developers won't. |

Re: Can't install Sun java 5 JDK in Karmic Koala
I just went to java.sun.com and downloaded JDK 1.5.0_21 for linux. I then installed that under Karmic (into my home folder). By pointing JAVA_HOME at the install directory, Java 5 works fine for me in compiling and executing my application, along with ant, junit, etc.

Re: Can't install Sun java 5 JDK in Karmic Koala
As rickh57 said, get it from java.sun.com, I have a backup copy just in case they require subscription for such old stuff. Anyway Java 5 is already the IE6 of browsers, people should really drop it dead, Apple also upgraded long ago to Java 6.
Imho Java EE 5 can and should be used with Java (JRE) 6 Also Java 5 had lots of rendering issues as well as printing issues unresolved (on Ubuntu and Linux in general).

Re: Can't install Sun java 5 JDK in Karmic Koala
JDK 5 will no longer be supported by Sun by the time Karmic is released. See http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp
