Bug Description

Binary package hint: sun-java6-jre

When sun-java6 is installed the JRE has the version 1.4.2-02. Having version 1.5 available would be recommended.

$ java -version
java version "1.4.2-02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02, mixed mode)

Well, this bug is filed against sun-java6, which should give you a clue.. ;)

Try "update-java-alternatives", on my system (Hardy) it looks like this:
$ update-java-alternatives -l
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
java-7-icedtea 1060 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea
java-gcj 1042 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj

Using update-java-alternatives, you can change all java-related links to the given java virtual machine.

Changed in sun-java6:
importance: Undecided → Wishlist
status: New → Invalid

this has nothing to do with gcj; the priority of the blackdown package should be lowered to something < 63, and probably < 53 (sun-java5)

Changed in sun-java6:
importance: Wishlist → Low
status: Invalid → Confirmed
