sudo aptitude install java-common sun-java5-bin sun-java5-jdk sun-java5-jre javacc

One particular reason that may lead your interest to read the tips above, is in case ant terminates for you with the error:

About Blackdown Java and alternatives
Question
I want to install the Java runtime 1.4.1 from Blackdown and do
[apt-get] install j2re1.4
it escapes with an error message :
update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/lib/mozilla-cvs/plugins/javaplugin_oji.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/javaplugin_oji-mozilla-cvs.so: No such file or directory
What is wrong?
Answer
Seems that this error message happen when the directory
/usr/lib/mozilla-cvs/plugins
does not exist. According to debian-user maillist this has been reported as a bug, but a workaround exist
mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla-cvs/plugins
will make the install procedure continue without problem.

About pbuilder and Sun's Java SDK
Question
I am build-depending on sun-javaX-jdk. However, I can't get an automatic build in a clean environment working, because sun-javaX-jdk does not install in a non-interactive environment, because it asks for license confirmation:
Unpacking sun-java6-jdk (from .../sun-java6-jdk_6-06-1_amd64.deb) ... sun-dlj-v1-1 license could not be presented try 'dpkg-reconfigure debconf' to select a frontend other than noninteractive
Answer
There are two possible answers:
Patch one and for all your pbuilder environment
$ sudo pbuilder login --save-after-login # echo "sun-java5-jdk shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true" | debconf-set-selections # echo "sun-java6-jdk shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true" | debconf-set-selections # exit
Add a hook to patch it on the fly
In http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2008/05/msg00024.html Manuel Prinz says:
- I use a way to do that "on the fly" because I think it's easier to manage if you have several debconf settings to manage. Just add to your .pbuilderrc:
HOOKDIR=$HOME/debian/pbuilder/hooks
The create a file called i.e. "D50sun-java-licenses" in $HOOKDIR with the following content (it basically has to start with "D" and a two digit number for ordering):#!/bin/sh debconf-set-selections <<EOF sun-java5-jdk shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true sun-java6-jdk shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true EOF
This accepts the licenses before packages are installed. I prefer this because I can deactivate certain settings easily (by commenting out sections or renaming hook files) and do not have to keep a full chroot for every possible debconf setting. Also, I tend to forget which exactly setting I did in which chroot.
As mentioned in man pbuilder, you need to make the hook script (D50sun-java-licenses) executable before pbuilder will load it.
