Where is Sun hiding the linux jre?

I decided to upgrade my linux development machine today and did a clean install of the latest Ubuntu. I didn't come with the jre and when I tried
Quote:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
it barfed saying the package was "no longer available, but is referred to by another package."

Where are they hiding it and how do I get it?

I was able to install the sun jre, but I had to enable commercial repositories (or alternate repositories) in synaptic.

Sean,

I ended up doing the same thing. Why does Sun making getting the JRE so difficult? You'd think they would want it pre-installed on everything rather than have us play Where is Waldo.

Tom, I wonder if this is a side-effect of Oracle buying Sun. I've never had to go hunting for it before... but with 10.4, they didn't make it easy

Oracle just doesn't seem that interested in the software side of the Sun purchase. They get rid of the free version of Solaris, and they just don't seem interested in promoting Java the way that Sun was (admittedly it was mostly so they could sell servers to run it on, but that's ok).

Are any of the other jre's any good? Would it be worthwhile to switch?

I don't think it's worth doing. We use all IBM implementations at work, and I think they have stability issues.

I forgot to mention, this link was the first thing I tried and it didn't work. The download completed but would not install. I tried both the .bin and the -rpm.bin.

It is... It is only a matter of time before you will need to be a Oracle Technet (currently free) registered member to get it. Most likely 12 mos after the Sun purchase. That's historically how things work
