| java javadebs sunjava javappc jre |
<reply> To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.…unity/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | Seveas Added on: 2006-07-29 02:26:41 Last edited by LjL Last modified: 2011-10-25 20:18:22 Requested 6034 times |
