UPDATE: 2012-10-29
jre-1.6.0.37.sfs may works on any Puppy 4.x/5.x.
There is also jre-1.7.0.09.sfs. But note that the browser plug-in may not work on Seamonkey. Use the JAVA 6 (jre-1.6.x) in this case.
Both from http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/

There is another SFS made by TheAsterisk!
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67371
But my SFS is add settings of PATH, mime and additional font.
(Detail)

1. The environment variables are set by the script /etc/profile.d/java.
   
2. Mime settings for ROX-Filer is under /etc/xdg/rox.sorceforge.net/MIME-types, /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX/MIME
   
3. Additional font setting at /usr/java/jre*/lib/fonts/fallback (link to /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF).

As for the browser plugin, Seamonkey-2.x/Firefox/Chrome works out of box.

For Seamonkey-1.x, follow next steps after you load this SFS.

1. Remove the link, /usr/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so.
   
2. Make a link to /usr/java/jre1.6.0_31/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so as /usr/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so.
   
3. Enable Java from the Seamonky menu, Edit > Preferences > Advanced.
   
4. Visit http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp to check JAVA

A small test program written Java available.

You can load the SFS on-the-fly by using SFS-Load, but you may need to restart X or PC to activate the MIME settings.

Updated to jre-1.6.0.23.sfs

[GustavoYz]

Thanks a lot Shinobar!!!!
I'm going to test it on Quirky too...

[jogreer]

Hey. How about making a .pet for jre 1.6.0_23. That would be a great help.

[GustavoYz]

[jogreer]

In Puppy 5.1.1 Quickpet downloads 1.6.0_20 which is old. So where are you telling me that can I find 1.6.0_23 ?

Howdy jogreer,

(hmm...I've been hitting the pasta a little too much lately...that's something I need to get outside and do...jog my reer...)

It is easy to create a jre .pet package from the .sfs. Do you want to be as dependent on others as a suckling calf, or learn how to supply your own needs? I thought so. Here's how:

1. Download the .sfs.

2. Open a Rox-filer window, navigate to the subdirectory where you downloaded the .sfs to.

3. Left-click on the .sfs. This will mount the .sfs and a Rox-Filer window will open, showing the contents of the .sfs (/etc and /usr subdirectories).

4. Open an rxvt window (Menu-->Utility-->(u)rxvt) and issue

I compiled jre-1.6.0.23 and used jre-1.6.0.22.pet as a base to make a jre-1.6.0.23.pet, hope i haven't stepped on anyone's toe's.

It can be downloaded HERE size 36 meg

Edit: I compiled this in fluppy, which it will run in, should run in other pups.

Is there already, or could anyone throw together an sfs package for java1.6 24??

Many thanks, vance

[Artie]
