If you need java installation to enable you to develop applications
then you need JDK(Java Development Kit). If you don't want to develop
any application in java and you just want to run some jars
and some applets in the browser like Firefox then what you would need
is to install JRE and JAVA Plugin. Due to some licensing issues, Oracle
(Sun) Java JRE cannot be distributed through the official repositories
of openSUSE since openSUSE 12.1. Here is a official quick guide to install newest and secure version of Java.
For people who just want the software and averse to long procedure i
would suggest installing them from user maintained repositories.
openSUSE don't guarantee any stuff downloaded from user maintained
repositories. I usually install from user maintained repositories and
they work just fine.
To install JRE (packages are named java-...-sun-plugin-...rpm) . Installing using plugin link will automatically pull in the required JREs.
You can get JRE 1.6 here. alternatively you can also use these one-clicks (1,2,3,4,5) on openSUSE 12.2 for a simpler simple install.
You can get JRE 1.7 here. Here are the one-clicks (1,2) for a openSUSE 12.2 simple install.
To install JDK (packages are named java-...-sun-devel-...rpm)
You can get JDK 1.6 here. Here are the one-clicks(1,2,3,4,5) for a openSUSE 12.2 simple install.
You can get JDK 1.7 here. Here are the one-clicks(1,2) for a openSUSE 12.2 simple install.
