Java 6 Update 10 is available

by Mike Christianson

Java 6 Update 10 (aka Java 6u10) is now available for Linux and other platforms.  Sun has published release notes for this update.

I have been using 6u10 with great success since the Ubuntu 8.10 release candidate became available. Ubuntu 8.10 users can begin developing with the JDK using a couple simple commands.

aptitude install sun-java6-jdk && update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Be sure to consider installing other useful Java packages, such as sun-java6-doc, along with the JDK.

aptitude search sun-java6
