I just want to mention that I once had problems with that line as it is. In earlier Mandrake distros they had some kind of java installed (Kaffe) and if you don't deleted that then the line above would give you still the old java executable. Because when Bash searches for a program (i.e. "java") it does so from left to right along your PATH and uses the first program that matches the given name. ( - That was my explanation anyway) If you use: PATH=/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH With the old PATH at the end. Then you make sure that your new one is found before the old one. The other solution would be to make sure there is only one program called "java" in your PATH. > You definitely need Sun's j2re for it to work, and it won't work if you > have kaffe installed as well. You could work with Kaffe and have the rt.jar or classes.jar in your Java Classpath (=the PATH for java). Kaffe is fine - they just do not have the framework, it is only a runtime. But it is a bit of a hassle. Sun's Java is easier to handle. b.
