Building a Debian package for Sun Java JDK/JRE
If you are looking for an integrated, java virtual machine, compiler and runtime environment, then Debian does provide them, and there are quite a lot of projects you can choose from, that are included in Debian:
- kaffe: http://www.kaffe.org
- gcj/libgcj: http://sourceware.cygnus.com/java/
- jikes: http://www.research.ibm.com/jikes/
- kopi: http://www.dms.at/kjc/
- FastJar http://fastjar.sourceforge.net/ ,etc.
but you will not find Sun’s Java 2 SE (JDK/JRE) included in Debian because of its restrictive license policy.
