apt-get sunwjdk1.5


Did I miss something? When did it become possible to just apt-get the JDK as Tim does in his Nexenta review?

Probably when somebody stopped paying attention to the (weird) JDK license.

It doesn't seem to be available from the public repositories, I would guess it's a private (or independent) repository added to his /etc/apt/sources.list file.

The Nexenta guys are not a Debian project, so they don't have to care much about the whole free software thing, non-free licenses, and so on. cheers, dalibor topic
