Note the information from apt-cache on java-package below: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:hal]$ apt-cache show java-package Package: java-package Priority: optional Section: multiverse/misc Installed-Size: 336 Maintainer: Debian Java Maintainers <pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: all Version: 0.27 Depends: debhelper, fakeroot, coreutils | stat, unzip Filename: pool/multiverse/j/java-package/java-package_0.27_all.deb Size: 22786 MD5sum: 105fc8233c54d3b0784bd3d727d9a0ae SHA1: 834ee3a83245e727d60cd2c543ddf1d72011b691 SHA256: d4d74a0d8a020fc96c5f9ec8f50b3f1076d9ae2186010ffa566c03e1c88631f0 Description: utility for building Java(TM) 2 related Debian packages This package provides the capability to create a debian package from a Java(TM) 2 distribution by just running make-jpkg <filename>. . This program currently works with the following Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environments and Development Kits: . * Sun Microsystems(TM) 1.4 and 1.5 Standard Edition * IBM(TM) 1.3, 1.4, and 5.0 Standard Edition * Blackdown Java-Linux 1.3 and 1.4 Standard Edition Bugs: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Origin: Ubuntu -------------------- While this is from Ubuntu, it would be essentially the same for Debian. This package helps you build debs from the downloadable version of Sun's Java, but it doesn't install Java itself. There's docs on how to do it somewhere, but I can't recall where.
