be a link between /etc/alternatives/java to /usr/java/default/bin/java.
Most "Serious java users" ie corporations are using either 1.4 (as we
are at work) or 1.5, so stop speaking of something you know nothing
about. Hardly anyone is using 1.6 commercially yet. And they're the
people who are "serious users", not people trying to run applets in
their browsers...
Why lie about what I KNOW? I tried to install jedit with the 1.5 on
F8 and it just spit out error messages. Then I bit the bullet and
installed what Sun Inc said is right and jedit works SUPER.
That is fact not you GUESS.
You are comparing 1.5 apples to 1.6 oranges. The 1.5 you tried was not
Sun java, and jedit probably works just fine with Sun Java 1.5 as well
as the 1.6 you installed.
