problem with Synology DS1512+ DSM4.2

[psme]

I'm trying to install MinimServer 0.70 on a brand new Synology 1512+ with DSM 4.2 out of the box.

I guess my problem is not exactly with MinimServer! My problem is with Java on Synology.

Synology 1512+ uses a intel atom CPU so I go to Oracle to get the Java file:

ejre-1_6_0_38-fcs-b05-linux-i586-headless-13_nov_2012.tar.gz

(took me a while to figure out Java 7 does not work on a Synology, only Java 6 is ok!)

Create a public folder on Synology (make public folder read/write-able to everyone etc), put the ejre-1_6_0_38-fcs-b05-linux-i586-headless-13_nov_2012.tar.gz file under public folder

According to insturction, I added this URL:

http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk

in Settings -> Package Sources->package repository

Then I guess I should see a "Java install" or something under the list of installable items.

There is indeed a "Java Manager" in the list of items, but I finally figure out that is NOT from the package repository I added! That "Java Manager" is a buildin item of the DSM4.2 system!

As you can see from my screen capture, I'm NOT see any item from the

http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk

package repository link.

So in the end I tried using the buildin "Java Manager" to install Java. After some download and install message, the screen shows Java is installed and running.

So I tried install MinimServer 0.70, and of course MinimServer installer said Java is NOT installed.

Besides, there is another location that seems to indicated the buildin "Java Manager" said Java is not installed!

My problems are:

- I'm NOT seeing the items from http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk
- in 1 dialog box it shows Java is installed with the buildin "Java Manager" but another dialog box show Java is NOT installed! So which is which?
- MinimServer won't install complaining Java is not installed!

The whole process made me goes in a circle many many times! I don't know what am I missing!

Please help! Thanks!
