Is Sun Java really necessary for using Android SDK on Ubuntu 10.10? I prefer OpenJDK

android, java

Solution

I'm using JDK for working on Android and it's fine :)

java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.1) (6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode)

And eclipse plugin too :)

Problem

I would prefer to just use `openjdk-6-jdk` (version 6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3). But I'm just starting the Android SDK installation, so if Sun (Oracle) Java is really needed, I suppose now is the time to install it. Any advice?
