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?
Java is now in oss repo. I installed icedtea 1.7 wich works now as VM in my x64 Browser fine with applets. there is also an gcj1.6 version. Both are Opensource now.
Reader doesnt exist jet in repos but you can take the language specific from Adobe.com
Thanks for the above, but the real problem as I discovered is that the references to the URLs in 11.0 Software Management are not totally correct. What you need to do is to add 'suse/' to the end of the URLs stated in the Repositories for Factory oss and non-oss (ie, the ends should read '.../suse/'). When you do this java will then install, and as a bonus you will also now be able to have ~400 packages upgraded (398 packages in my case).
