But you'd probably want to rather do
PATH=/home/edmz/Java/j2dk1.3.1/bin:$PATH
so that the older java and javac files that come with the distribution
don't get called in preference to your new ones. As I understand it,
when you enter a command, Linux searches through the paths in the PATH
variable from the beginning to the end, executing the first matching
file. So if it comes across a matching file somewhere else in the path
it will execute that first. So putting the new java directory in first
makes it find that one rather than the old Java.
