Geany w/sun java

[Mochtroid-X]

I want to use Geany so I can do my schoolwork at home but I cannot get it to compile my java apps and it gives me this:

javac "HelloWorld.java" (in directory: /home/----------/Desktop/Documents/Java)
/bin/sh: javac: not found
compilation finished unsuccessful

From what I've read around the forum I think it's similar to Eclipse in that I have to set up sun java for it but Eclipse is too much of a hassle and I just want a lightweight IDE to get my schoolwork done. Any insight on this?

Did you install java? (sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin)

Also, i have a question, does your geany have a green line down it? See pic
Edit: Never mine i see at the main site, all the screen shots have the green line.

What a nice simple IDE, I installed it to try to help you, but now I'm going to keep it!

No need to set anything up, apart from installing the JDK.

Open up the console, and type:
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk

That's all you need. Then in Geany, open up your Java source code file, and click Compile. It should work.

Hmmm, seems I had the JRE installed but not the JDK, but whenever I try to install it I get this problem:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  sun-java5-jdk: Depends: sun-java5-jre (= 1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1) but 1.5.0-10-1.1 is to be installed
                 Depends: sun-java5-demo (= 1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed

I cannot seem to install the JDK in any way, is there a place I can download the .deb files for it and the demo that anyone knows of?


-edit- I installed the Blackdown Java SDK and everything works fine now, except when I run the program the window containing it instantly closes...

[samjh]

If you're doing these for a programming class, you'd want the standard Sun Java.

Try uninstalling the JRE, and then reinstalling sun java using the JDK package as I showed in my previous post.

[kerry_s]

You need to turn all your repos, sun-java is in multiverse.

[Mochtroid-X]

I tried uninstalling the JRE but the JDK still would not downoad by giving me the unmet dependencies I showed in my last post. Is Blackdown Java's development kit not as good as the standard Sun JDK??

There must be something wron with your /etc/apt/sources.list file... Mine is like this:

And sun's jre and jdk are the standards, blackdown has somewhat strange behavior sometimes... Sun's jre is also faster than blackdown's.

I copied and pasted you sources.list over mine and I still cannot download the JDK. What is going on here?

[Ragazzo]

Can you install sun-java5-demo separately first?
