Re: [tlug] Java 2 SDK

[Ryan Shaw <ryan.shaw@example.com>]

I've had problems with this in the past. It is due to the
fact that instead of just giving you a tarball, Sun insists
on wrapping the tarball in a shell script that makes you 
agree to their license (never mind that you already agreed
when you downloaded).

but if their shell script is screwed up, you can't install.

here is a little trick (courtesy of the gentoo ebuild) which
you can use to strip out the Sun crap and install the damn
thing.

Note: this ONLY works for j2sdk-1_3_1_04-linux-i586.bin (the
latest version):

	tail +291 j2sdk-1_3_1_04-linux-i586.bin > install.sfx
	chmod +x install.sfx
	./install.sfx
