Java 7 on B3

[RichoDemus]

Hi, I want to run Java 7 on my B3, by running:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-cache search openjdk

I can only find openjdk-6-jre, so my questions are basically:
1. Is Java 7 available for B3?
2. if so, how do I download it?

Regards
Richard

I encountered the same problem.
Oracle stopped license for packing java for linux.
You have to download jdk-7u40-linux-i586.tar.gz or jre-7u40-linux-i586.tar.gz from the Oracle website. (32 bits)
Set the file in /usr/lib/jvm and unpack.
Set the alternatives for "java" and there it is.

note that you need the arm (armel) packs, not x86. (No idea of avaiability though).
