Thread: Update sun-java to secure version


hi,

ubuntu has stopped supporting sun-java because of licensing open-jdk being alternative. can still install sun-java using ppa:ferramroberto/java repository.

version repo 1.6.0_26 insecure , blocked firefox in near future.

manually installing latest sun version quite hassle , must re-done on every new security release.

there options use update-manager/apt-get keep sun-java up-to-date? general opinion on this?

[i feel switching open-jdk tricky; afraid incompatibilities because java-code written sun-java.]

there's no known updated ppa oracle java, can use this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/s...ers-on-ubuntu/
it's script automatically download latest oracle java , install it. credits creator.
