What tool did you use to untar the archive?
If you used a Windows based tool (such as WinZip) a whole bunch file
files will be missing.
Actually, they are not "files" in the traditional sense - they are soft-links
which is a concept that Windows does not understand. Thus, if you use
a Windows based tool to decompress/install the JDK you will be missing
all of the java/javac/jar/etc tools that should live in the /usr/share/jdk1.2/bin
directory.
All of these are just soft-links to the .java_wrapper script.
To make them (and to test this fact) try the following:
cd /usr/share/jdk1.2/bin
ln -s .java_wrapper java
/usr/share/jdk1.2/bin/java -version
This should now run your JDK.
Now - there is one more possible problem if you used a Windows tool
to untar the files - you may not have execute permission on the files.
If you did use a Windows tool - the best thing to do is to redo the
operation under Linux with the tar tool that comes with Linux.
