Java - Sun or other? Prefer less bugs & more stable.

[giovanni_re]

What are the options for Java as of 10.4?

Around 9.04, IIRC, there was Sun's, & another independent implementation considered Debian free.  The sun version IIRC was considered more bug free, but perhaps not DFSG free.

I'd prefer less bugs & more stable.

This will be used by some applications that need a java engine to run java code.  Ex: Eclipse?  & some others I don't recall.

For a 10.4 install, what is the current advice & issues??

Thanks :)
