If you are looking for an integrated, java virtual machine, compiler and runtime environment Debian does provide them. Of course that would depend on the Debian GNU/Linux version you are using, generally speaking they would be: • Sun’s jdk 1.4 (port made by Blackdown, see How can I get Debian packages from Blackdown?, Section 12.1 or go to http://www.blackdown.org) • kaffe. • Sun’s Java 5 jdk, available in the Debian 4.0 etch release in the non-free section. • Sun’s Java 6 jdk, available in Debian lenny (unreleased, currently testing) and Debian sid, also as packages in the non-free. Previous release of Debian included an installer package for IBM’s Java Development Kit, but that is not longer available. Since the Debian 3.1 ‘sarge’ release, Debian provides the free-java-sdk package which makes up a free Java Software Development Kit (SDK). All software it depends on are DFSG compliant.
