I would like to install jdk 1.5, version 9.

However, I am unable to find this version of jdk. Can anyone help out?

Your help would be most appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You could try searching for the version you need here (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp). Unfortunately I could only find 1.5 version 19.

Thanks for a fast reply.

I have already tried the Sun website. Unfortunately, it seems that Sun do not keep track of 'outdated' versions. So I was just hopping for some kind of repository for Ubuntu packages of older jdk versions...

Cool. I didn't know that site existed and it seems pretty useful if you need older versions of Sun software.
