The JRE nowinstalled in my OS v11.1 is java-1_6_0-openjdk. There is some suspicion that this release lacks a feature that is preventing me from Making my JAlbum photo album, so I am thinking of replacing this JRE with java-1_6_0-sun, which appears in the YaST software management list.
I would have thought that this would be as easy as uninstalling the existing JRE and installing Sun's. But I find the following page:
http://en.opensuse.org/Installing_Sun%27s_Java_on_SUSE_Linux#Switching_betwe...
which contains the following sentence:
***** Because of licensing issues Sun's Java Edition can not be included on the CDs of the download edition of openSUSE. *****
and gives a "quick guide" for installing it. This is not an obsolete page (it even mentions openSuSE v11.1). How can I reconcile the sentence above with the presence of the rpm for the Sun release?
It wasn't on the "CDs of the download edition of openSUSE". It is in the Non-Free repository. The java version in the 11.1 GM Non-Free repo is taken from https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/developer.html and redistributed under the DLJ: http://download.java.net/dlj/DLJ-v1.1.txt http://download.java.net/dlj/DLJ-FAQ.txt HTH Ciaran
