1) to add some more info about the package 2) to make the difference between versions of Java. ie if we include the "6" in names we could have (in a shorter scheme) jdk6 and jre6, jdk5 and jre5, jdk7 and jre7. Because nowadays, upgrading jre from 6 to 7 would un-install jre v6. As you all know these different versions of JVM (5 and 6 and tomorrow 7) are both used a lot !
well, when this happens be sure that we will do that. add a new jre6 and jdk package when version 7 is released
i always hatted the debian naming scheme for java so -1 from me. but

+1
So if you want to rename them, how about either calling them sunjdk6
and
> > sunjre6 or else renaming the open ones too to fit into the same scheme, e.g. java6-open-jdk I do agree.
the description of jre/jdk are pretty damn straight an if you really search for java sun it would find jre/jdk
pacman -Ss java sun

well, when this happens be sure that we will do that. add a new jre6 and
jdk package when version 7 is released I see your point: jdk beeing the "current" version and jdk5 or jdk7 alternatives like Peter said.
What about paths? Today jdk/jre install in /opt/java, openjdk6 installs in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk. Wouldn't it be cleaner if we installed jdk/jre files in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-{jdk,jre} or something?
OK tested !
So! Basically, I made 2 versions of the package:
1) this one< http://github.com/downloads/galaux/abs/java-sun-6u21-1.src.tar.gz_current
is made of the PKGBUILDs of JRE and JDK from community merged and updated 2) this one< http://github.com/downloads/galaux/abs/java-sun-6u21-1.src.tar.gz_custom>
is the same as 1) but I removed the construct.sh script and directly included it into the PKGBUILD so that we don't have to get through a lot of unnecessary lines of script for building. This doesn't bring a lot but looks cleaner to me so... may not be that relevant !
Names are unchanged, ie jdk and jre. Paths are unchanged ie /opt/java/{,jre}
Both have been tested for 32 and 64 arch and compile with openjdk6 and jre/jdk. If a dev wants to use/test for official use in Arch repo

thanks for this. i'll add it later today as Dan is kinda inactive

I have pretty much the same request about Tomcat... should I wait for Dan to get back in business?
