OpenJDK in Debian/Unstable
I don't routinely need to write Java code these days,
but it still feels good to know that the JDK is now
available as Free Software in Debian:
$ apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-source # and then... $ which java /usr/bin/java $ java -version java version "1.6.0_0" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b11) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b11, mixed mode)I don't use Java much (but that could have been because of it's non-free pain), and have so far managed with GCJ surprisingly well. However, having the official Sun JDK as packaged, Free software is really good.
