I would like to know whether the jdk pack includes all of the jre pack so as I
have to remove the latter to install the former.

In the comments of the jdk they say "This
package contains everything you need to run java (TM)"

Yes, it does (I usually "removepkg jre*" then "installpkg jdk*").

Everything works -- if you let it.

Hello!
However, according to SUN you need both items installed. Why? I don't
know. They explained the same thing four times.

But the Slackware "jdk" package _does_ include the complete jre
(as a subdir), so in Slackware you only need that one (under /extra):
/usr/lib/jdk1.5.0_09/jre
(from the jdk-1_5_0_09-i586-1.tgz package for 11.0).

The binaries for the jdk itself are?in /usr/lib/jdk1.5.0_09/bin,
those for the jre in /usr/lib/jdk1.5.0_09/jre/bin, etc.
