Where can I get sun-java6-jdk?

[John Bachus]

I wanted to build Android but ran into a problem when following directions.

I entered the following line to install the java6-jdk:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'sun-java6-jdk' has no installation candidate

The instructions also say, "Android ICS (4.0.3) needs Java 6."
Is there another source for java6-jdk?

Thanks

I believe due to release of a java 7 you can't apt-get 6 anymore.

I could be wrong, but

I found a copy of java6-jdk on another Android (Gingerbread) VM build.
From what I could find out, the java6-jdk has been only given until November till EOL.
Any plans to upgrading?

However, now I ran into an error when building Android:

cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors

make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/obbtool_intermediates/Main.o] Error 1

Many of the warnings are redefinitions. The following are also some examples of the warnings:
mkbootimg.c:228:9: warning: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]
system/core/mkbootimg/mkbootimg.c:241:48: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]
mkyaffs2image.c:195:26: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds]

My command line is:

make TARGET_PRODUCT=beagleboard OMAPES=5.x -j4
Any ideas why these warnings are causing the build to abort? Its as if the C compiler is not the same one used to build these files even though it is at the beginning of the path supplied in the instructions.

Debian and Ubuntu both removed Sun Java 6 from their repositories a
few months ago.

You can install Sun Java 6 locally though. I put up some instructions
here: https://notatypewriter.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/installing-sun-java-eclipse-and-android-sdk-on-ubuntu-10-04/

That's about what I do.  but I put the jdk in my $HOME/bin/ instead.  (note: I don't think you need eclipse to build aosp )

Power of Debian still with you:
http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/sun-java6-jdk/

You can download latest available packages from that place (this will be version 6.26-3)

Also you need 3 packages and few packages from ubuntu repo (like java-common and unixodbc):
sun-java6-bin
sun-java6-jre
sun-java6-jdk

All Java 6 versions prior to 6.31 have security issues. Installing Java
from official Oracle package is not difficult, or you can check out this
script for a simple way of rolling your own .deb packages:

(Guessing that this is what "Geofuzzy" wanted to convey but got the
quoting wrong.)

The instructions at http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
do link to what looks like Oracle's main Java page, from which the
download page for the JDK is just one click away.
