hi, it’s me again.
I installed jdk according to your useful blogs.
I’ve just installed Eclipse (3.2.), with the required packages (using: synaptic), but when I run the IDE from the menu, only an error message appears saying: “A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations:/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun/bin/java”
———-
but when i run eclipse from the terminal it works fine, no errors, but if i close the terminal window, eclipse closes too (it’s natural).
———-
The solution i’ve found is: editing the /etc/eclipse/java_home file and add the location of your java virtual machine at the top e.g. /opt/jdk1.6.0_04
———-
It’k worked for me, i hope this helps someone.

Installation of JDk1.6.0_04 X64 on Debian Etch AMD64

I followed these instructions and all went well except for the above mentioned need for two dashes preceding the “install” and “config java”.

Neither Iceweasel nor Epiphany browsers see Java though. What would you recommend?

Regards, Dee

error : I replaced “–install” with “–install” in order to work properly in the line where you write
update-alternatives –install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk1.6.0_04/bin/java 300

at end it works for me and thanx verry much. (i have debian etch).
