Thanks @Shinobar. You've helpted the community with JRE over the years.

I, too, need the JDK, if you could help by providing it. Specifically for Slacko 5.6+ (32bit) and/or FATDOG-LightHouse64 (64bit)

Thanks in advance, if you can help.

That's the DK Development Kit - it includes the current Runtime Environment version .

/mnt/home/SFS/jre-1.6u45-i586.sfs loaded into macpup550 frugal - works real good !
/mnt/home/SFS/jre-1.6.0.43.sfs installed into full install of macpupF3 works OK .


These :

/mnt/sda5/opt/jdk1.6.0_26 from debian
/mnt/sda5/opt/jdk1.7.0_40 from sun
/mnt/sda5/opt/jre-1.7.0.25 from sun

give me everywhere full and frugal

# /mnt/sda5/opt/jdk1.6.0_26/jre/bin/java
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
# /mnt/sda5/opt/jdk1.6.0_26/bin/java

in macpup550precise and macpupF3-43

Might want to do a google search next time. The FIRST google search result for "openjdk slackware64" would have given you alienjeff's openjdk builds for slackware.

http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbu ... kg64/14.0/

That has the JRE and JDK bundle for both 32bit slackware 14 (what slacko is) and 64bit slackware 14 (what FD and LHP are).

Update Release Notes summarize changes made in all 1.7.0_* update releases.

That's the DK Development Kit..

Q5sys. Thanks. I saw that Lighthouse 602 UPDATE to ...40 version several weeks ago. But a JDK has not arrived in its PPM as a PET for installation in Lighthouse.

Hope this post helps others.

BTW, this is the wrong thread for OpenJDK/OpenJRE discussion. Shinobar has ONLY provided us with SUN's version for 32bit thus far.

But, thanks for trying to help.

Looking for an oldie - JRE1.4.2. Anyone?

Updated:
jre-1.7.0.45.sfs and jre-1.7.0.25-1.sfs if you want older version.
Both from http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/

Thank you. I shared your link here for those who use Java along with LibreOffice.

Hi Shinobar

Thanks for continuing to package Java. I recently wanted to run .jnlp webstart files (javaws binary). For some reason your version of jre-1.7u45-i586.sfs didn't work for this purpose (I'm on Slacko 5.3.1).
Details here-

Have you tried jre-1.7.0.45.sfs instead of jre-1.7u45-i586.sfs?
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/

No, I didn't try that version. Downloading now to test. What is the difference between jre-1.7u45-i586.sfs and jre-1.7.0.45.sfs ?

I have now tried jre-1.7.0.45.sfs, it gives the same result as jre-1.7u45-i586.sfs

The javaws binary is stored in /usr/bin

Using /usr/bin/javaws "$@" as the run action for a .jnlp file, gives the unable to launch with an exception error

in the java sfs packaged by OscarTalks the javaws is stored in /usr/local/bin and using /usr/local/bin/javaws "$@" successfully launches the .jnlp app.

Java SE 7 Update 51 Released 1 /14/14

When can this be presented?

Hey GC.. you spend enough time here to make one of these for all of us.

jre-1.7u51-i586.pet

Users seem to be finding that different versions by different posters may or may not work on their systems. I'm not sure why this is. I would have expected /usr/local/bin to work the same as /usr/bin for the executable symlinks. I just didn't like the idea of a /usr/java directory so I put the main folder in /usr/local instead and from there I kept the symlinks down the /usr/local path. To be honest I don't use jre for anything. I just made one when I was testing jitsi which I have since given up on.

Anyway, not wishing to step on any toes, but a few days ago I did upload a .pet and a .sfs of jre-1.7u51-i586 put together along the same lines as the previous one:-
http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks
Other versions by other posters are available. I haven't tested this one much. Users should experiment and see which one works best for them.

OscarTalks shares a problem that has existed with PUP over time; namely, different developers install apps differently based upon a concept that they feel is best. This has happened couple years ago when SAMBA was first being tackled and certainly is happening here.

With SAMBA, the problem subsided when @01Micko (32bit) and @TaZoC (64bit) combined in agreement to settle on a consistent Library and executable paths. Other developers, @Pemasu, and others also used this PET and pathing in their distros for consistency. Today, using some of PUP distros, the user sees exactly the same experience when using or 'install and using' that consistent version for sharing information on the LAN. This reduced user efforts and increase user understanding and productive use.

But, that level of consistency has NOT happened here with JAVA, just yet.

This is of issue for PUPs future because of the increase of Smart devices as JAVA and eClipse can be integral in advancing PUPs as a platform for integrating smart devices into the LAN fabric that PUPs reside on.

Wise cooperation and discussion can bring some common light to a pleasant ride into PUP's present and future. Iam NOT suggesting "yielding" one vs another, I am, though, suggesting developers discussion for good and sound direction so that other projects and products which rely on JAVA-JRE & JAVA-JDK are placed such that eClipse and other tools from MIT and others can install and find their way without issue. 2 heads are certainly better than one as it embraces complementary viewpoints for greater achievement in many and most cases.

Maybe JAVA, as is the case with Flash, really should be in base PUPs to reduce user confusion. Some distro developers have already begun addressing this in their PUP distros as they are including Flash, OOTB.

Hope this helps

Strange. I found no problem on Precise-571JP.
Will you point some file for testing?

UPDATE: jre-1.7.0.51.sfs
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/

NOTE on the difference with the one by OscarTalks:
1. JAVA_HOME is /usr/java for mine, whereas /usr/local/java by OscarTalks.
2. Three executables are under /use/bin for mine, whereas OscarTalks made more links at /usr/local/bin.
3. Mine has the ROX-Filer stuff under /root and under /usr/local/apps/ROX-File.

I tried a couple of apps.

This one for example

CGoban 3 - KGS

http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp

I downloaded to ~/my-applications and ran from there.
