Re: How to run Java application

first, enable extra repos: http://www.psychocats.net/linux/sources.php

Now, in Konsole, type this:

sudo apt-get install j2re1.4

and if you want to Mozilla plugin, so you can view java in web pages:

sudo apt-get install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin

Also, when it asks you for a password, type the password you login with.
