tlchost,
Sorry to be so slow in addressing the problem. Thanks for keeping after me about it.
I have added a fix package at the beginning of this thread, that changes 3 editing scripts that extract links to the download packages. This is just a matter of keeping up with Oracle's web page changes.
EDIT: Also uploaded get_java version 1.0.1, which contains the patch and now shows the version number (1.0.1) in the window title.

Richard, your latest version built the SFS OK, but when loaded has none of its /bin binaries symlinked on Tahr64-605's $PATH.
A quick manual symlink to ~/my-applications/bin revealed:
So, sans the above mention, fine here.

I suppose it's more elegant to append the path in /etc/profile.

Code: Select all

Nice job @rerwin
Unfortunately, as of writing it looks like the web pages has changed, breaking this tool.
For some reason I stumbled upon the beta version of get_java before I found this 1.0.1 version. I got the beta working. Unfortunately those changes could not be merged into the 1.0.1 config file.
Wonder if the problem is that the download page asks for eula confirmation before downloading?
If someone has time to figure it out and update this tool, it would be great.
Happy coding..)

Another problem:
I tried manually downloading the JRE tarball from Oracle and installing w/ get-java 1.1. I chose the sfs option. It created an sfs, but it never worked.
I did try the immediate-use option, and also made sure it was selected for boot loading in Boot Manager. When it failed, I tried several times again by rebooting, but Java Control Panel never saw it as present.
Then I tried creating JRE as a .pet and loading with the Puppy package manager. This time it worked and Java Control Panel did see it. However several other of my programs stopped working.
I realized that the problem was that the Java Installer was installing to /opt/.
Because I run and test several puppies, I had long ago moved the opt folder to /mnt/home, and then I always link back to /. Apparently the Java Control Panel doesn't like this and overwrites the link with a new /opt/ folder, and installs JRE in that. Thus JRE works but my other apps in /mnt/home/opt don't.
However, I was able to move the /opt/ JRE contents over to /mnt/home/opt/, and then delete the /opt/ folder and make a new link back. And everything worked after that.
I suspect something similar happened when the sfs version failed to install in /mnt/home/opt/
