according to the information on Sun's site though the installation rpm's
should be setting the path to where Java can be found. something I've
noticed about 8.2 and 9.0 is that when issuing the "which java" command
one is usually presented with the following output:
/usr/bin/java
I also noticed that before I even installed j2sdk1.4.0_01 that I was
able to both compile .java source files, but also run them from the
commandline which indicated to me that at least the most fundamental
parts of java were already installed on the system. Heck! I'm not even
sure if I'm using them when I do work on the system that requires the
java compiler or run libs.
