What is it and what does it do that cannot be done with the default java/icedtea that comes with Fedora? I for one, confess not to be a KNOW IT ALL type of person, and have figured several things out during the *java problem* ordeal. Before all at one point I got Java with NetBeans bundle, but java has really progressed a great deal with Fedora. It is now much better than it was before. I learned several new things: I downloaded a java book online by Eck, http://math.hws.edu/javanotes/. Pretty neat, I had learned a little of C++ back in 1996 when going to college. I learned new things with c++ on the command line, using $ c++ -o programname programname.cpp $ ./programname ran the c++ program if it compiled without errors of course. Then I looked at java, using $ javac programname.java compile(s) the program, then it is run with\ $ java programname and it worked for me. As an example, I got the file http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Programming/java/properties/SystemProperties.java with the instructions/sample data http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Programming/java/properties/SystemProperties.out and I get the following: [olivares@localhost javawork]$ java SystemProperties +-------------------------+ | SET

I have used those before and did not get very far except for "HelloWorld.java". I have someways to go to catch up to my 17 year old nephew, who I introduced to c++ a little bit and now he kicks my butt with java, he can do it all, arrays, classes, etc. Now he will teach me some java I hope. At one point, I was his hero because I had linux, run some C++ programs with Kdevelop and now the world turned around in a hurry and it is me know that wants to learn from him, Regards, Antonio ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
