Java on AMD64 Question
Patrick Carlson
Can I apt-get install it? I went to java.com and they seem to have an
AMD64 self extracting binary. I would rather use apt-get though so
that I can keep it up to date. Thank you for the help.

downloaded java (list of supported stuff in the package), but you still need
to download seperately

look for a mirror, add it to your sources.list, check you have non-free also in you main mirror and you´re done
apt-get install j2sdk1.4 or j2re1.4

Yes it's confusing, but you can go here and get it:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Just choose: "Download JRE for Other Platforms" and you'll get there in a
coupl'a klicks. This is the generic self-extracting installer.
The apt-get thingy will get you 1.4 (I think 32 bit) I think you can find that
at blackdown, but it'll run with 32 bit I think only. you'll have to edit
your /etc/apt/sources.list to tell apt where to git it, as well.
Once you extract jre1.5, you'll have to configure konqueror java in settings
to connect to the java binary thusly:
/home/user/jre1.5.0/bin/java
then java 64 bit will run in konq. Not sure about moz or firef. though.

Beware because debugging is broken with Blackdown's JDK 1.4.2_01 on
AMD64. It's been reported several times in their BTS, but there's been
no answer so far (at least on the BTS; I haven't checked their mailing
list, if they have one).
Also, if you use Eclipse, avoid Sun's JDK (Blackdown's included) because
the JIT has a bug that's triggered frequently by the editor causing
Eclipse to crash.
I found IBM's JDK 1.4.2 to be the most stable on AMD64, though it has
its own bugs (not so severe as the others on this platform) and no
public bug tracking system to report them. There is a newsgroup but
there's barely any traffic there, though I've seen an IBM employee
answering once.
In brief, I'm using IBM's JDK 1.4.2 and I can't complain because I least
it gets the work done (and I use it constantly).

Sun doesn't ship the Java plug-in on AMD64 as of 1.5.0_1. Sun employees
gave mixed answers to the corresponding bug reports in their BTS.
Sometimes they say it might be fixed in 1.5.1 and others that "it's a
bug in the documentation because we won't support the Java plug-in and
Java webstart on AMD64."
You can vote for this bug

Sun. I installed it per this tutorial:
http://home.bredband.no/gaulyk/java/tutorial/javaredhat.html#Installing%20the%20Software
However, I'm not quite sure how to set my $PATH value. There is no
"profile.d" folder. I tried creating one but it didn't seem to work.
What's the easiest way to setup the path? Thanks!

This will be fixed in the next release. You should be able to work
around the problem by adding stdalloc=y to the run -Xrunjdwp options.
(1.4.2-01 defaults to stdalloc=n, that means it uses a variant of Doug
Lea's malloc which seems to break with NPTL. 1.5 allocates memory via
JVMTI, so it doesn't have this problem.)

I have a hard time reproducing this. What do you do to crash it?

I am installing it for the first time with apt-get today.
I have always installed the "normal" way, making the symbolic link
directly from the java /jdk/plugin/.. to mozilla folder..

FWIW, I did this just earlier today on my pure64/sid system. I only loaded
the j2re1.4 package and then updated the
/etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin_oji.so symlink to point to
/usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/plugin/amd64/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so.
The plugin seems to work, but now when I start mozilla, I get the following:

Anyone on the list know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, I'll try this sooner or later. I hadn't been able to find a
workaround anywhere.

I just use Eclipse's editor, eventually it'll crash; it could take a few
seconds to some minutes, but never too long. Let me find the bug
report... here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=83688 . If
you follow the link to the report mine is a duplicate of, you'll see
other people complaining about the same.
Thanks for your answer,

I have tried several times (using the "install missing plugins" feauture
of mozilla-firefox) to install flashplayer, no way.
It does not work.
Any hint?
apt-get flashplayer gives no result

Maybe because there is no such thing as a Macromedia Flashplayer for
AMD64, yet. I must say that I don't miss the CPU-hogging, flashy
advertisement, but sometimes I wish I could watch some flash movies. For
those cases, the open source project (which is part of Debian) might or
might not work. You can also use the IA32 chroot for that.
You can check Macromedia forums and see that many people have
volunteered there to port the player, but there has been no results so
far (I guess that Macromedia doesn't take them/us seriously enough).
Maybe we can expect one after 64-bit WinXP is released, but I don't daresay.

because of it's design? Not sure, you might want to check the

I have not found flashplayer for amd64. I think the plugin is only i386.

There is no flash player for amd64. From
http://sluglug.ucsc.edu/macromedia/faq.html:
*10. Where is Flash for PowerPC or x86-64 Linux?*
It does not exist probably because Macromedia management feel there
is no demand. Contact Macromedia
<http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/contact/> and express your
opinion if you truly care about this. Also buy more x86-64 hardware
(AMD64, not the crap Intel stuff) to make the platform truly
lucrative for software makers in a business sense.
There is libflash-swfplayer, an open-source one, but it's very, very buggy.

Likely, I don't have a Debian/amd64 installation but AFAIK it's
NPTL-only. With LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 glibc tries to load
LinuxThreads instead and that isn't available.

The script should be patched for amd64, all existing amd64 VMs work
fine with NPTL

Mozilla's OJI interface still has 64-bit issues. I've written fixes
for Sun over a year ago but it looks like they still haven't pushed
them into Mozilla.

The proposed solution involves overriding parts of the system with
32-bit libraries and binaries.
Debian cleanly supports 32-bit libraries (see package ia32-libs), but
not binaries. You can still make a chroot jail and run the browser from
there, as suggested in the How To. Unless you're really short in hard
disk space, this shouldn't be a problem and it works great for most
cases. For the rest, the proposed solution won't work better anyway.

Is there scope to support the developers of the free code better? I
mean, x86_64 desktop users have a clear interest here.
The project has recently become active again - homepage is here:

> well, what to do to get javaplugin for mozilla(-firefox) running?
I got it working with a deb from the following mirror:
deb ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/languages/java/linux/debian/ sid non-free
Do note that not all blackdown mirrors carry these packages yet and that
you have to manually fix the links to the plugin. It is missing the part
where it points to the amd64 dir in the link from the alternatives
system: /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/plugin/amd64/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so
The other gotcha is that it only works with mozilla, not firefox. At
least that is my experience.
