Sun doesn't ship the Java plug-in on AMD64 as of 1.5.0_1. Sun employees gave mixed answers to the corresponding bug reports in their BTS. Sometimes they say it might be fixed in 1.5.1 and others that "it's a bug in the documentation because we won't support the Java plug-in and Java webstart on AMD64."

H Patrick. Yes it's confusing, but you can go here and get it:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Just choose: "Download JRE for Other Platforms" and you'll get there in a coupl'a klicks. This is the generic self-extracting installer.
The apt-get thingy will get you 1.4 (I think 32 bit) I think you can find that at blackdown, but it'll run with 32 bit I think only. you'll have to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to tell apt where to git it, as well.
Once you extract jre1.5, you'll have to configure konqueror java in settings to connect to the java binary thusly:
/home/user/jre1.5.0/bin/java
then java 64 bit will run in konq. Not sure about moz or firef. though.
Cheers, Chris W.

Hello. I'm a little confused as to getting Java on my AMD64 system. Can I apt-get install it? I went to java.com and they seem to have an AMD64 self extracting binary. I would rather use apt-get though so that I can keep it up to date. Thank you for the help.
