I'd recommend the J2SE from here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp (Java on Linux isn't quite up to par, IMO). I use the! non-RPM bundle of netbeans and the J2SE and install it in /opt. You can update your path appropriately for your Java applications to work. -- Chris "I trust the Democrats to take away my money, which I can afford.

I also installed J2SE in /opt directory. However, when I run " java -version" command, I got the information that about still having the old java (1.4.2) version working, instead of the newest one. I became worried about the possibility of messing up the configuration of FC4. Could you or anyone alse, please, let me know how could I update my path appropriately for my Java applications to work with the new Java version and its JVM? Sorry, if that question s! eems to be too stupid, but, as I told before, I have no experience with java, etc. Thanks, once again! Hoffmann ________________________________ Yahoo!
