[ale] SLES, OpenSuse and the 11.1 conundrum

Thu May 23 11:40:50 EDT 2013

I'm may have missed the beginning of this, but why do you need to try match opensuse versions to sles versions?
There really is no direct correlations anymore.
I work with SLES daily as part of my business, but I always run the latest opensuse on my desktop.

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.
