Unlike in 10.3, the java environment (etc - eg, acroread) is not automatically installed.
However, attempting to install it with Yast results in error message that java and its plugin are not available in the repository (..SL-Factory-non-oss/inst-sources-extra/).
What is needed to be done to install java?
Install: java-1_6_0-openjdk or java-1_7_0-icedtea
Those are not Sun Java though. My guess is that we'll have to wait until the release is complete.
Both are based on Sun's source code. The openjdk6 is cca 99% compactible with Sun Java 1.6.0 and many Linux distributions (will) use it - for example Fedora and Ubuntu. We are currently testing it in OBS in Factory. The icedtea is not as much stable as openjdk and Java 7 is still not completed, but Sun released it first. BTW: you should use a new opensuse-java@opensuse.org mailing list for discussing about Java in (open)SUSE Regards Michal Vyskocil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
