Install Java 1.5 on Squeeze
 

Hi

Knows someone howto install Java 1.5 on Squeeze?

I wrote a post for manual install long time back. It was for 1.6 java but should work for 1.5.

I'm not sure if the lavajavaplugin_ojis.so will work in your Debian Squeeze browser though as the later browsers use the libnpjp2.so which is a symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder instead of being just copied.

You can use my thread to install java 1.5. But installing the plugin in your browser will be the tricky part.

why 1.5? 1.6 should be backwards compatible with any java apps that require 1.5.

We have a VPN software and it works only with Java 1.5.

add the following line to /etc/sources.list
you should be able to install java 1.5 after updating apt.
remember to remove the apt line once you've installed java 1.5

or

have a look here


I was once in a similar situation and thats how i managed to find the Debian Snapshot Server's URL. Hit & Trial really.

P.S.: There maybe a better way to do this, please let me and the others here know if you know it :)

Thx, I've add to /etc/sources.list and get this error:I've tried this:but it doesn't help.

I got the same error myself, could not a way to fix it...but i could install sun-java5 via apt in spite of it.
