Java Runtime Environment: PuppyLinux

HomePage > SoftwareIndex Software Index > SoftwareDesktop Desktop

Java Runtime Environment

Java Runtime Environment runs programs written in Java. Not to be confused with JavaScript.

Installation

Install the appropriate package, newer versions should be more secure:

Where to find Java packages, .pet or .sfs

Version 1.8

jre-1.8u91-i586.pet, >>> jre-1.8u91-x64.pet, >>> (July 2016) ASRI Éducation repository, thread at the ASRI Éducation Forum (in French language)

jre-1.8u91-i586.sfs, >>> jre-8u65-x64.pet, >>> (June 2016) folder, thread packaged by gjuhasz

jre1.8.0_60-x64_6.0.3.8.sfs (temporally down), more info

JRE8u45Lin-i586.sfs (April 2015) thread, packaged by musher0

Shinobar's repository, thread at the Puppy Forum

jre1.8.0_11_5.7.0.sfs (temporally down), more info

Version 1.7

jre1.7.0_65_5.7.0.sfs (temporally down), more info

Alternatively, use package or script to make JRE:

get_java-1.0 created by rerwin

buildscript (temporally down), make executable, run in terminal, sfs will go into /tmp, more info

jre1.7.0_17 script post written by jpeps

Packages may also be available in the official repository for your Puppy either through the Puppy Package Manager or the SlickPet/QuickPet app.

Version Check and Enabling

Verify the installed version via the command-line interface:

java -version

Alternatively visit one of the following pages:

testjava (java.com)

version (javatester.org) - finds even if disabled in browser

Symlink for Mozilla (Firefox and Seamonkey)

A symlink may need adding to the plugin directory, for example:

Newer versions:

Create directory ~/.mozilla/plugins if it does not already exist

ln -s /usr/java/java/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so

Older versions:

ln -s /usr/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Web browser configuration confirmation (older versions only, JavaScript needs to be enabled within the Web browser):

Enable Java: Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Java

Enable Java: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Enable Java

Enable Java: Tools > Options > Content > Enable Java

Opera

Enable Java: Tools > Quick Preferences > Enable Plug-ins

Enable JavaScript: Tools > Quick Preferences > Enable JavaScript

Applications may need to be configured and re-started after installation.

Java Development Kit (JDK)

An alternative to installing the runtime environment is to use the full development kit.

Use an appropriate package, newer versions should be more secure:

jdk-8u45-i586 sfs/pet post, packaged by OscarTalks

Java - page about the programming language

jar - package of multiple Java source files

Should we merge Java and JavaRuntimeEnvironment pages? They cover similar ground and are both short.

You should see at the bottom of the page, before a ''new comment'' button

There are no comments on this page.

On some pages comments are restricted. Which page/s were you trying to comment on?

sometimes you have to symlink the zulu installed java into eg. /usr/bin/
