   Hi guys!
   This is a newbie-style question. Please be patient.

   I'm trying to install Java at Slitaz, but I'm having no success.
   I'm using rolling of August 23rd, 2015 at Live-CD mode.

   First, I tryed to use Tazpkg package get-java6-jre. It doesn't work anymore.

   I already read this topic: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/patches-to-get-java6-jre-get-libreoffice-get-teamviewer
   ... but the solution indicated there (javajre package) doesn't exist anymore, although TazPkg still showing it. When I try to install javajre pack, I got a message saying that the pack don't exist.

   After that I tryed to install the latest Java version manually, by downloading and untar the *.tar.gz file from Java official site at /usr/lib/java directory as root. But I don't know what to do after this to get it working.

   Can someone show me the right way to install Java at Slitaz?

   Thanks in advance. Sorry for my poor English.

   Key Master

   Open terminal, login root
   ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre*/bin/java /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre*/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

   Thank you, mojo!

   Java is working fine now at Firefox and also at Midori.

   How can I access Java Control Panel? When I write at a terminal:

   
# ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre*/bin/jcontrol /usr/bin
# jcontrol


   ... nothing happens. (I'm not sure if this is correct.)

   Hi Genesis,

   I'm far from Java. Maybe this will help you: How can I open Java's Control Panel? (with respect to paths where your Java installed).

   Hi Aleksej,

   Thanks for your tip, but it isn't working here.
   Java is installed at /usr/lib/java/jre1.8.0_60 .
   The results are:

   root@slitaz:/usr/lib/java/jre1.8.0_60/bin# ./ControlPanel
   sh: ./ControlPanel: not found

   root@slitaz:/usr/lib/java/jre1.8.0_60/bin# ./jcontrol
   sh: ./jcontrol: not found

   "ControlPanel" is a link to "jcontrol".
   I got the same results as "tux" user.

   Requires bash to work on my system.
   tazpkg -gi bash
   Hit enter or No leaving /bin/sh symlink to /bin/busybox
   **** Actual SH link : /bin/busybox

   Do you want Bash for /bin/sh (yes/No) ? :

   Leaving /bin/sh to : /bin/busybox

   tux@slitaz:/usr/lib/java/jre1.8.0_60/bin$ ls -la /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 6 10:49 /bin/sh -> /bin/busybox

   Hi mojo!
   Thank you, man! Control panel is working now! Now I have complete control over Java.

   Aleksej, your tip really works; it was just an issue about missing "bash" installation.

   To make it easier to access Java Control Panel, I created this symlink:

   
# ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre1.8.0_60/bin/ControlPanel /usr/bin


   So, to access the control panel, the user needs only to type "ControlPanel" at a terminal (as a normal user or as root).

   Topic resolved! :D
