I’ve been playing around with getting started building Android (I’d like to get 2.0 working on my Joggler). To build Android under Linux, you need the sun-java5-jdk package.
This is due to a conflict in the @Override command, which means you can’t use the Java 6 JDK for this task.
Unfortunately the sun-java5-jdk package isn’t available by default in the Karmic or Lucid repositories, so you need to grab it from somewhere else. To save you searching, here’s the howto:
1. Enable the jaunty-updates multiverse repository
You can do this by adding a single line to your sources.list file.
First, open your sources.list with the command:
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
Then you can add the following line (making sure you comment – # – with why you added it) to the file:
deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-updates main multiverse
Then you can save that and quit.
2. Refresh sources
You need to do an update to refresh your repository list then you’re good to go:
sudo apt-get update
3. Install package
And finally to install:
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
4. Continue process
Continue the process with the instructions here.
