| roy | ok - i'm a noob at Ubuntu but why oh why does Ubuntu not come with JRE, JDK "out of the box" ?????????????????????? | 03:32 |
|---|---|---|
| vil | hi roy | 03:41 |
| roy | wuz up | 03:42 |
| vil | Ubuntu actually comes with JRE out of the box, it includes GNU java | 03:42 |
| vil | gij-4.1 | 03:42 |
| vil | the problems with SUN java is that there is no package compiled from sources, which prevents it from including in main repository | 03:44 |
| roy | so to understand clearly the Run Time just allows new installs of Ubuntu to run a compiled java app but since the JDK is not loaded (or a GNU version of it) I can't compile my own code - right? | 03:49 |
| roy | I was able to load it via the built in package manger (GUI version) and seems to be working well. | 03:50 |
| roy | i have a quick question noob question concerning the wrapper class as it pertains to method calls with a related primitive interger type as the return value - basically can this be done? | 04:02 |
| roy | saw this technique used in a text book and it looked a little weird since the return type is not a class which - the method had only one return statement which returned a class reference - good / not good - works / does not work? | 04:04 |
| vil | answers follow... | 04:08 |
| vil | fresh install has just gnu java interpreter installed, so no compilation | 04:08 |
| vil | if you need jdk you either can install java-gcj-compat-dev from main repository which is gnu jdk or sun-java6-jdk from multiverse repository | 04:10 |
| vil | you should be able to do both using just the GUI | 04:11 |
| vil | you can find info about configuring the repos at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/extra-repositories.html | 04:13 |
| vil | for java language questions pls use different channel like ##java | 04:17 |
| vil | anyway, autoboxing from Java 5 may help you, however for that you will need the Sun Java at the present time | 04:17 |
| roy | vil - thanks for the clear explination - I'll send over my java questions there - again many thanks | 04:21 |
| vil | roy, np | 04:22 |
| vil | see you | 04:22 |
