You can set $JAVA_HOME [and other environment variables] in all sorts of different places. Where you do it is a matter of who, exactly, you are setting it for: I set $JAVA_HOME (and $CLASSPATH) in /etc/profile on this machine. You might try Googling 'java linux howto' as it turns up lots of good looking results. 3rd result is this java install howto for RedHat (should be the same for Fedora), : http://home.bredband.no/gaulyk/java/index.html You'll want the TXT version as the .sxw file requires OO.org, which requires a working jre. [ an 'install java howto' in a java dependent format- go figure ] You also mentioned Eclipse and NetBeans not working...well they won't until you straighten out your jsdk install as they're java programs and need a jre to run. Also note that the JSDK contains the JRE, you don't need both. HTH, -Craig
