you can try this yourself. it may be possible. going this way means that free software runs using non-free software, or all software needing java needs to be moved to multiverse, which is not going to happen. > Whatever the solution, I think it should be possible to have the sun JRE > as one's default Java environment by only installing a set of packages and you want the same for each other java runtime. that's not going to work. further, we don't support sun-java5 in main, so the best solution is to prefer the supported option. -- sun-java5-jdk should ask to set itself as the default upon installation https://launchpad.net/bugs/59987 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
