Hi,
as of this week entilre sun java stack is down loadable for Ubntu --
starting with feisty-with just an apt-get
I do under stand that sun stack was not the way to go earlier-- but with
this -- surely other linux implementations will follow?
Unlikely. Distributions which only want to include Free and open source
software won't include the Sun stack unless it is free of proprietary
encumbrances. Sun Java is not completely under a GPl+ Classpath
exception license yet.

i am not trying to flame or some thing but i am really not good in this
aspect -- so if there is some thing that iam missing . specially since you
mention that a make file for he identical binary that sun ships is not to
be available - is ubuntu being available with this aolution to the
predicament you mentioned -- if not how so ?
That particular distribution is merely including binaries with
proprietary parts that a vendor provides without the complete source
code under a Free and open source license. That isn't a solution for
everyone.
