[BUG] Sun Java 5 JDK

22 10 2008

As I told in my last post, there’s some kind of trouble with Maple and Compiz. I’ve noticed that it’s not only with Maple, also with SqlDeveloper. They have a thing in common, both are Java apps. So isn’t Maple’s fault, neither SqlDeveloper’s. The problem is with the version 5 of the Sun Java JDK. It has a bug that makes java apps working bad when compiz is enabled. I have solved this problem and it’s very easy.

The solution is to remove the sun-java5-jdk packet from your system, and install the latest version of the Sun Java JDK, which now is number 6.

With an easy:

$ sudo apt-get remove sun-java5-jdk

And then a:

$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

The problem should be fixed!
