I could (or should) have gone that route. However I thought that staying
in the Open SUSE11.4 will be close to SLES 11.1
Having said that, I am trying to install jdk 1.6.x and maven on Open SUSE
11.4 and I was able to get jdk installed
zypper in -y -l java-1_6_0-sun java-1_6_0-sun-devel && update-alternatives
--set java `rpm --eval %_libdir`/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/bin/java
Maven on the other hand I am just not able to install. I am not able to
find an OpenSUSE 11.4 private repo so I can pull maven in. Any suggestions.
