Thread: Java on Linux

Most distributions have it in their repositories. Usually something like sun-java6-jdk.
Or, you can go to the sun java website and download the jdk from there.

Well my test server and projects don't work very well with IDE's. I don't know why though

I did the second one. It was easier for me that way. Im not trying to install Java, i need a working compiler for it.

Read above statement

If you are using a Debian-based system (like Ubuntu), then it is as simple as opening a terminal and typing:

Code:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

That is just installing.

After that, you can use the command (after "cd"ing to your server directory, and assuming you have no packaging of your java files)

Code:

javac *.java

Or something similar to that (look up javac usage)
