Java isn't on the MDK CD's due to license problems. You can
download a working java from Sun.
However, if you're a member of Mandrake Club (you really should be)
you can download the java executable. It's called j2re (Java2
Runtime Environment). If you have set up your sources for Mandrake
Club, just as root : # urpmi j2re. The latest version is :
j2re-1.4.2_07-1mdk (assuming you run 10.1).
Beware, it's a 22 MB download.
