<para>The j2sdk package contains Sun's java development environment.
|
|
This is useful for developing java programs and provides the runtime
|
|
environment necessary to run java programs. It also includes a plug-in
|
|
for browsers so that they can be java aware.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The JDK comes in two flavors, a precompiled binary and a source package. The
|
|
precompiled binary is linked against gcc2 libraries. Due to the incompatibilities
|
|
between gcc2 and gcc3, the precompiled java plugin causes problems when gcc3
|
|
compiled packages (for example mozilla) try to load the java plugin.
|
|
The source package requires registration at the Sun developer site and accepting
|
|
the Sun Community Source License.
|
|
The source code cannot be downloaded from some countries, so for users
|
|
from those countries, the binary may be the only option.

|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Even if you plan on compiling the jdk source, you will need to download
|
|
the binary version to bootstrap the jdk build.
|
|
Follow the above link to download both source and binary packages. When
|
|
downloading the source also download the mozilla headers package available at
|
|
the same location.

<para>For users who do cannot download the j2sdk source owing to license

restrictions, blackdown has a gcc3 based precompiled version.
