[solved] 32bit Sun JVM on 64bit Arch

Hello,

Does anybody know an easy way to install 32bit Sun's JVM on 64bit Archlinux?
I know that I can download installation script from Sun's website but I want to make this JVM available to all users and install it in some clean way --- making somehow Arch package from the Sun's installer would be nice.
Maybe I could use the ABS tree, there is a JRE and JDK there, but I don't know how to compile them to 32bit versions and make x86_64 packages of them.

THX in advance.

Yes - just use my package here.  I've  used it for quite some time now, and it works perfectly.  One small note - it's expected to be the only JDK on your system (no parallel 64-bit version).  I did it that way because I haven't had the time to make something like Gentoo's 'java-config' or 'eselect' utilities.  However, it does work with everything, even Eclipse.

Good luck!
