hi,

i need to install an older version of java for working on some equipment at work.

i think "update-alternatives -config java" should be what i am looking for so i built a deb pkg of the version of java i need for work (j2re1.4.2_18).

after running the dpkg -i j2re1.4.2_18*deb i get an error "xulrunner-1.9 conflicts with j2re1.4" .

so now i am not sure how good of an idea it would be to downgrade xulrunner-1.9 or even how to go about doing so. it looks like it is used by firefox so would i have to also downgrade firefox i wonder or could i also possible use "update-alternatives" to get around this problem?

and advice appreciated.
