Can you elaborate on your problem please? We do not have enough information to answer your question as it is stated.

I need a good java compiler and a java code editor which in this case are absent in etch.
I downloaded a JDK zip filewhich is 290 kB long.
Tried to compile it but no sign of the "configure" file...only got far as the uncompression is concerned.

That's the much I know as at now...sorry for not providing enough detail but can you help...

What's your linux distro? Most distro comes with java by default.

Try the command

whereis java

[Lakshmipathi]

oops !! I overlooked it ..seems like your are using etch
anyway that's output of above command

[njuguna]

what about If I get netbeans for linux...will it function(don't want to waste more time trying a unworkale solution).

and, how are .sh files compiled? Tried the compression way...didn't work...

[Lakshmipathi]

my output on Debian lenny:

debian:~# whereis java
java: /usr/bin/java /etc/java /usr/share/java

Download java from here
https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP...tionTypeFilter

and install it .
As thinkfree said,I don't think java comes in KB.

Not if you don't have a JDK installed. The JDK is much larger than 290k so you probably do not have the correct installation file. See if you can use these instructions to get the JDK installed and let us know if you encounter any problems.

Ok you can see this links
packages.debian.org/lenny/sun-java6-jdk
wiki.debian.org/Java
or you can even use gcj
and About the Editor I suggest eclipse
