Debian 4.0

  • First you need to enable the non-free debian repository. Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.lst.
  • Find the line that looks like: 
deb http://ftp.debian.org etch main contrib
  • Maybe the hostname is different because you are using a mirror, this doesn't matter. Add 'non-free' at the end. After that it should look something like this: 
deb http://ftp.debian.org etch main contrib non-free
  • as root run: 
apt-get update
apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
  • now you can switch between different JDK's using the alternatives command: 
update-alternatives --config java
update-alternatives --config javac

  • Run this command: 
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
