Ubuntu

recurring java doc error when installing non java items even with update manager

Asked by John Delroy

keeping getting the following although I think the packages triggering it do install all right. Can not seem to find either of the files mentioned at Sun and ones that appear newer do not seem to work as below.

This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the
JDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the
archives:

    jdk-6-doc.zip jdk-6-doc-ja.zip

(choose the non-update version if this is the first installation).
Please visit

    http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/

now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied
to /tmp.

[Press RETURN to try again, 'no' + RETURN to abort]

Thanks for any help.

John

John , it's working fine .

This is how you should run it :

$ java -jar globaldocs_1.9.4.jar

Download it from : http://globaldocs.zeevbelkin.com/globaldocs_1.9.4.jar

Can you help with this problem?
