As I see it sdk==jdk, sdk == software development kit and jdk == java development kit. The sun jre (java runtime environment) seems to be missing though, but who needs it. > The sdk contain all the dev tools like javac and javadoc and the jdk is just > for running prebuilt java apps. Nope, jre is just for running prebuilt java apps. > It looks like sun-j2sdk tries to build the sdk from source. Yup, that's what it's there for. The only java versions that will work with self compiled (with gcc3.2.x) web browser are blackdown >= 1.4.1, self compiled sun java == sun-j2sdk and sun java 1.4.2, but 1.4.2 isn't available as an ebuild yet, so one should go with blackdown, or compile his/her own sun java if browser support is needed. All javas will work by themselves. -- janne -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
