Bug Description
Binary package hint: sun-java6-jre
Hi,
just wanted to ask for a upgrade to Java6 u1. This fixes rendering issues on Xgl+compiz/beryl (only grey swing apps, no rendering and the workaround used with sun-java5-bin - using Mtoolkit - is not supported on java6), and ia32-sun-java6-bin seems to fix the plugin problem for 32bit browsers running on amd64 (i'm using u1 on swiftfox, and it works, but didn't with official u0).
Since feisty ships with compiz, i thought that would be a good idea, specially because other than bugfixes, Java6 u1 isn't all that different from u0 (packaging should not be a problem).
Of course I could use java-package and create my own package (i'm using that right now and works fine), but that creates complications with some dependencies of other ubuntu packages (the package created by java-package does not provide all virtual packages provided by sun-java6-jre (ex: eclipse, azureus, etc...).
Personally i don't think it is a good idea to have multiple jvms installed (gcj doesn't satisfy all my needs), so, using just sun-java6-jre would be great.
