Why not just download the official Sun Java installer?

Is there a more recent version for ubuntu (debian) and does someone
have a download link?

Re: [H] Latest version of Java for Ubuntu?

2007-07-30 Thread Brian Weeden
Running the apt-get install line tells me that I already have the most
recent version.

Now I ran the Java Web Console and it reported me as having version
1.6.0.  Now I don't know if that's the version of the web control or
the actual Java JRE.

I went to the manual Java download site and the file listed for Linux
was jre-6u2-linux-i586.rpm.  Now I already have that version.

Something weird is going on or maybe a misunderstanding.  Maybe I need
to pull my version back to 1.5 instead of 2.x?
