I've updated the original java port of quake2 to work with jdk 5/6. You can download it from:
http://code.google.com/p/jake2-ext/downloads/list
Here is the quick start notes:
----------
Game Files
----------
If you have a legal copy or demo of the game, place the data in a folder
called jake2 in your home directory, e.g. /home/osman/jake2
You can download demo files from here for example:
http://download.cnet.com/Quake-II-demo/3000-7563_4-10243474.html
------------
Running Game
------------
To run the game under linux, go to the scripts folder and type:
all: sh 0.9.7.sh (recommended)
If for some reason you need to try JOAL/JOGL before LWJGL, use:
i586: sh 0.9.6.sh
amd64: sh 0.9.6-64.sh
On the first time, locate your data using the dialog box (ignore the download
option). Subsequent runs should pick up the location from settings in a .jake2
folder in your home directory, e.g. /home/osman/.jake2
Experiment with adding cheats and commands in .jake2/config.cfg file to load
custom settings at start up.
=========================
You may need to install wine and a jre or jdk first.
