Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6

[sabitha]

Following Kuja's procedure, I did some minor changes to the steps in his code that didn't work for me. This is the code that I used:

chmod +x j??-6-linux-*.bin
sudo ./j??-6-linux-*.bin
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/jvm
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun
sudo cp j??1.6.0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun/jre -r
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun/jre/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun/jre/bin/java
java -version

You will have to accept sun's license.
This worked fine in a clean Edgy install. Thanks Kuja for your help!
