I currently see no sense in jdk.
I'm learning Java/JSP at work, and also installed JDK in Puppy.
See:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 49&t=16881

I think usually you will not only need jdk, but also a lot of other stuff, like additional beans, Jakarta Tomcat or Eclipse.

So a jdk dotpup usually would not be sufficient.
The size of several dotpups would be enormous, so a .sfs might be better.

But as shown in the mentioned message, it is not difficult to install the required Software on your own.
Those installers run in any Linux, so distribution-specific packages are not really needed.
And like that you can be shure, to have always the latest versions.
Another issue might be legal matters.
Sun is going to release most parts of Java under the GPL, but this process is not finished yet.
Especially Enterprise beans by third-party developers might not be free, so a packager had to read all those licenses carefully to avoid problems.

On the other hand nobody blamed us yet for packaging jre with some of our isos/dotpups, though you would need a permission to do that.
Sun seems to be very tolerant at least in regard of smaller projects like Puppletts.

the only part I want is the jar tool. any way I try to download jdk it dosn't work on puppy 2.13.

extract the attached archive.
Copy the file in /jar/lib to /usr/local/lib
Copy the files in /jar/bin to /usr/local/bin

Then it might work.

Taken from jdk 1.6.0

ok, zipped it in addition.

type:
unzip jar.zip
to get jar.tar.gz, then open that with pupzip.

tried didn't work. if you take the .tar.gz and then rename it without the .gz I'll be able to. I had to do that on a difrent forum, it works.

You can play Winslows games with Cedega:

A jar file is just a renamed zip archive with some rules about what must be inside.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jar.html
You could just try rolling your own META-INF and MANIFEST.MF and INDEX.LIST if your case is relatively simple.
Alternatively you could read up on java.util.jar which is included in the jre

Hi,

May someone help please at making the followings dotpups or dotPET packages:
as they are much needed...

- EtherApe (network tool)
- Teamspeak client (conferencing system)
- Teamspeak server (conferencing system)
- Democracy tv (videocast and podcasts reader like iTunes)

Best regards,
Laurent.

Dear DotPet Creators,

I have only one request. For me it would be useful to use the OpenOffice quickstarter application either with MU's KDE mini or -if it is possible- under icewm as I'm using 2.15CE now.

Thanks in advance,

Matu

Okay, I'll look into this. I also plan to attempt to compile the new wine.

I'd like to see a GVim dotpup (and possibly one for Cream, a text editor based on and working in conjunction with GVim).

Hi,

I would like to request some help from anyone who knows how to build a PET package so to have SSL-EXPLORER package as this one is also much needed.

Any additional informations can be found from here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sslexplorer/

I have read on the forum some of you are doing quite the same usage with SSH and VNC tools but i have not been able to have the "server way" work as yours. Anyway there happens often that behind an enterprise firewall only port 80 or 443 are open, and nothing else. That's why we would need for SSL-Explorer.

Best regards,
Laurent.
