The same goes for JDK in some cases as I had to experience on the glassfish mailing list seeing servers goin' down in arcane JVM exceptions that went away simply by using a "plain" JDK. Not even talking about messing with the need to meet dependencies in two package management systems in some cases (Eclipse plugins, in example) - so overally I tend to recommend people to stay away from *deb/*rpm packaged builds of any Java based applications. Installing them manually is not that much more dificult and obviously might save a few hours of pain... :) K. -- Kristian Rink cell : +49 176 2447 2771 business: http://www.planconnect.de personal: http://pictorial.zimmer428.net "we command the system. calling all recievers. we are noisy people for a better living".
