I agree. The same is true of Totem movie player.

If you take the defaults on the Sun installation, it puts it under /opt:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] j601]$ ls /opt
j2re1.4.2 jdk1.6.0 jre1.6.0 jre1.6.0_64
Using alternatives (if you have it) you can link several versions of Java
to the command java, and easily change the default. I currently have
[EMAIL PROTECTED] j601]$ which java
/usr/bin/java
[EMAIL PROTECTED] j601]$ file /usr/bin/java
/usr/bin/java: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/java'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] j601]$ file /etc/alternatives/java
/etc/alternatives/java: symbolic link to `/opt/jdk1.6.0/bin/java'
The default above is 32-bit Java. If you want to run both 32-bit and
64-bit J, you need 64-bit Java, and give an explicit path for the latter.
I have
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ more ~/j601/jw
#!/bin/sh
java -Xss6000000 -jar ${JPATHj601-~/j601}/j.jar "$@"
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ more ~/j601_64/jw
#!/bin/sh
/opt/jre1.6.0_64/bin/java -Xss6000000 -jar ${JPATHj601_64-~/j601_64}/j.jar
"$@"
Best wishes,
John
