thx!

EDIT: ok...oracle provides a arm version...is this the only chance to get java on the pi? i don't like the propretery java

It would seem that OpenJDK by default uses x86 assemly, so it isn't multiplatform, but only builds and runs on x86 based computers. There seems to be project "Zero" which is basicly arm compliant but I could not find the sources for it....

You can install OpenJDK 6 with pacman.
To find it
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Ss openjdk ')
To install it
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -S openjdk6')

Or download the Oracle Java SE Embedded 6 or 7 on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... index.html or try to find some other vendor.
