which installed j2re from "dag" since I have a dag repo defined. But still when I try to run jedit I get an error.
It's been awhile since I have used jedit (not needed for polytonic greek utf8 anymore) but I seem to remember jedit being particularly picky about wanting JAVA_HOME set.
I use the blackdown.org j2re but I've only tested the browser plugin.
But this is how I set both JAVA_HOME and my path - and this is how I've done it for years.
I create a file called j2re.sh within /etc/profile.d containing:
#!/bin/sh export JAVA_HOME=/opt/blackdown/j2re-1.4.2-01 if [ `echo $PATH |grep -c "$JAVA_HOME"` -eq 0 ]; then export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH fi
With that - all my users have the JAVA_HOME properly set, and the PATH is correctly set.
See if that resolves your issue.
