Java, as PeterJ mentioned, should be in the repos, but you might have to enable the multiverse and universe repos as well. Then just apt-get/aptitude install the jdk and you should be fine. Make sure you get the one with the version you like and not the virtual package. Sometimes the virtual ones are linked to older versions. MySql also comes with a few tools packaged. The manager and query iirc. You can use the manager to see your table and allow access to them. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4151912#...
