My goal last night was to get JEdit installed and
working.
This required Java, so I tried a few different
ways to
install Java. First I downloaded Sun's JRE SE
1.4.2.
The install seemed to go fine, but in the end I
would
get an error when trying to run JEdit - sorry, I
don't
have the text of the error to copy/paste in.
Then I went to fedorafaq.org and found
instructions
for installing Java via yum, so I did
  yum install j2re
which installed j2re from "dag" since I have a dag
repo defined.  But still when I try to run jedit I
get
an error.
Which is...?
Sorry, like I said I'm not on that FC3 machine now so
I don't have the error messages handy - I should have
waited 'till tonight to post :-/
At this point I don't know if it's a problem with Java
or a problem with JEdit, but I was at least hoping to
get a response or two from people who successfully
installed *a* JRE and used a Java application, with a
pointer to some instructions.
I want to know if the "dag" repo JRE works fine for
others.
Thanks.

remmove the place holders. The install the jvm 1.5 as rpm packge from sun. then edit the .bash_profile and add the path of the bin files. But 1.5 has a big bug. java webstart will not work. I have send this tu sun. And it will be correct in the next release. But if you need java webstart, I have found a workaround.
