I just want to install a Java runtime environment which will allow me to see Java applets in action. It seems I have the choice of (at least)
default-jre gcj-4.4-jre gcj-jre icedtea-6-jre-cacao openoffice.org (includes its own jre, apparently) openjdk-6-jre (required by Azureus/Vuze; it does not seem to accept other Javas) sun-java5-jre sun-java6-jre Today I did another attempt: rigorously dpkg --purge'd any trace of any other jre than openjdk-6-jre. It does not have a mozilla plugin, but "suggests" installing icedtea6-plugin and sun-java6-fonts. But then sun-java6-fonts wants to install sun-java6-bin and sun-java6-jre, and "suggests" sun-java6-plugin and ia32-sun-java6-plugin. And the icedtea6-plugin does not work... This is dependency hell. Does anybody know of a decent tutorial for setting up jre, any jre, on Debian? With only one boundary condition: it should work. I haven't been able to see applets working for about half a year now.
