Java SDK

I see that the jdk is included in Arch, which I must say is something all distros should do.. but sadly they don't... Anyways... I do see however that it is update 8, which I always need to stay up to the latest version , which right now is update 9 according to the java.sun.com website. So should I skip installing it via pacman, and just go with the binary install?

Also, can slackware packages be installed on Arch?

Re: Java SDK

It's already been flagged out of date and will be upgraded whenever the dev gets time to look at it.  I would not use the binary install...you can either live with 8 temporarily, or use ABS to update the PKGBUILD and install 9 that way.

Ok, I can always try to use ABS. I would rather not have to wait.. I've been using 9 for awhile now and would want that on arch as well.

Thanks

Re: Java SDK

Yes, Java6 came out today! I'm really glad because it's improved a great deal, especially Swing, so Jacman will run even quicker from now on smile
