java runtime plugin for Debian Squeeze

I found my clock displaying the wrong time so I installed ntp and it works ok now.

 

I went to the official time website to check but it wants me to install a java runtime plugin. I didn't want to do so through the finder dialog but would rather use synaptic.

Synaptic has the sun-java6-jre package. Would this be the correct one?

Should I have just used the finder service?

I never use a third party site to install plugins, always use your distro's package manager and trusted repositories.

You could use the Sun Java RE or the openjdk jre. Either should work.

yessiree amenditman, never, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever install software from a third party. That's the first thing Bruno said to me six years ago and it's my top rule.

 

Does the jre include the browser plugin? Seems to me I used to have to make symbolic links or something like that? I haven't done it in a while.

I agree, I also use openjdk6:
