Which JDK for Android Development on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit?

Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit looks promising as a development environment for Android. I now have it up and running but I am stuck at the following decision point:

  1. Synaptic Package Manager has 'default-jdk' ("Standard Java or Java compatible Development Kit").

sun.com has two "Java SE Development Kit 6u23 for Linux x64, Multi-language":

  1. Java SE Development Kit 6u23: jdk-6u23-linux-x64-rpm.bin
  2. Java SE Development Kit 6u23: jdk-6u23-linux-x64.bin

Which one is the right one for Android development using eclipse-SDK-3.6.1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz?

Solution

  • The one for synaptic will work just fine.

    Java SE Development Kit 6u23: jdk-6u23-linux-x64-rpm.bin

    RPM == Redhat Package Manager... so, don't use it since you are using Ubuntu.

    Java SE Development Kit 6u23: jdk-6u23-linux-x64.bin

    With that bundle it will work just fine. You will need to configure manually the path and things like that.
