I have a copy of java for Windows (J2SDK1.4.0.2.EXE or something like that), and I am now using Slackware 9.1 I was wondering where you download the sdk for linux. Any ideas??
I cant see any thing saying click here to get java for linux otherwise I would have clicked on it and not asked now can someone please give me a full url to the file. thank you
Caeda has a point, although blunt. http://java.sun.com
Go to the same page you got the Windows file. Look at the entry immediately below it.
Get the bin file for Slack. Read the instructions. If you can't install it, search the site. Very good advice all over the place here. Java is a popular question. Answered daily
Another subtle detail is the fact that the Java SDK is part of Slackware 9.1. Unless you explicitly chose not to install it during the installation of Slack, it's already installed, and if you didn't install it...it's easiest to install the Slackware package right off the CD (or get it from a Slackware mirror).

remove your dark glasses and go to java web site. It is all there and only you can see it. This is called bad navigation and nothing else.
Go to the java.sun.com and then => "download j2sdk" , and follow the links. There are 2 versions available, rpm and self-extraction versions. Choose self-extraction versions and follow the installation instructions.
