Thanks for reporting it 🙂
I’ll upgrade the make-jpkg-mustang as soon as I can for the jdk support 😉
BYE!

Was the version of make-jpkg-mustang ever updated for feisty?
Comment by Dave Shuck — February 7, 2007 @ 7:38 pm
In Feisty JRE 1.6.0 is available in the Ubuntu repositories, in edgy its now also available in the Ubuntu backports repositores
Comment by tuxicity — February 7, 2007 @ 11:53 pm
the correct syntax for update-alternatives is “sudo update-alternatives –config whatever”
There are 2 “–”
🙂

Mare you are correct, but for some reason the 2 – – are rendered as one — , thanks for addressing this 🙂
Comment by tuxicity — March 3, 2007 @ 8:16 pm
Hi! And in Dapper is available in the ubuntu backports repositories, too.
Greetings !

the guide in ubtuntuguide.org DID NOT work for me… this one worked like a charm! THANKS!

And normal ppl would do:
1)sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
2)cd /usr/lib/ferefox/plugins
3)ln -s and so on from jre plugin dir…..

Amazingly, using the latest build of mustang from the page (6.0.0.2 I think, from april 2007) as opposed to the version you can get from Feisty repositories, all of the issues I was having with swing applications not working with GTK widgets using beryl/compiz are now fixed. Thank you!
