git clone vs wget #68

Another github publisher, pylanglois, offers a tweak to your instructions. For your consideration:

hxxp://gaggl.com/2012/04/installing-java6-jdk-on-ubuntu-12-04/comment-page-1/#comment-1469

sudo apt-get purge sun-java mkdir ~/src_SunJava6 cd ~/src_SunJava6 git clone https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6.git cd ~/src_SunJava6/oab-java6 sudo ./oab-java.sh -c

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk

I have slightly changed the target directory for scrape sanity and defaulted to -c. It is not clear the advantage of installing also " sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk" unless one needed the jdk, too?

Can -7 and -c be combined?

Can not lines 2-5 be consolidated (without &&) specifying target directory with git command? [git help clone]. This seems to play nicely:

sudo apt-get purge sun-java git clone https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6.git ~/src_SunJava6 sudo ~/src_SunJava6/oab-java.sh -c

No oab-java6 directory will be created as location is specified to git.

Hi,

Thanks for you feedback, but the instructions are written that way so the script can be used by someone who does not have git installed.

Regards, Martin.
