Silent Setup of Sun JDK (Linux, Debian)

I was looking for a way to install the latest Java Runtime Environment without any user interaction and came across this posting

Here's a tips I found trying to do the same as you :
1. Create an answers.txt file with the word yes inside
2. Launch fhe following command (assuming you want to install jdk-xx.bin)
./jdk-xx.bin <>/dev/null
Works like a charm!

Ant & SCP on Mac

Just spend a few minutes involuntarily on fixing the SCP support for ANT on Mac ... a library is missing ("Cause: the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ssh.Scp was not found.") and you have to copy a second file from the binary distribution, check out the howto I found on the web!

Important hint: Don't download the latest binary distribution, check which one you're running (ant -version) before doing that! Otherwise you'll likely receive error messages again.
