I downloaded and unpacked jdk1_2_2rc2-linux-i386.tar.gz.
I assume that the lack of installation instructions means that the java
examples in demo/ can be run in-place
i.e. there's no need to define environment varibales such as CLASSPATH and
JAVA_HOME.
The README files with each demo seem to support this.
Obviously I've fixed my PATH so that the java binaries in bin/ are used.
Running the examples from a shell using "java -jar <example>.jar"
produces the following output (this example taken from the Stylepad demo):
% java -jar Stylepad.jar

Now, I've checked jre/lib/rt.jar and
javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel.class is definitely present.
So what do I do now ?
Alistair.
