gurus,
just wanna check with you boss, is it possibel to install two java versions at the same time? let say java 1.1.8 and java 1.3.1? Would there be any conflicts.
 
Hello Bonsky
There is absolutely no problem in having 2 versions of java

The base version V1.1.8 will get installed in /usr/jdk_base directory and the V1.3.1 will get installed in /usr/java131 directory.

So when u want to compile your code with 118 you need to have your PATH Variable , LIB Variable , INCLUDE variables set to V118 path in your .profile file

When u want 131 u need to set it to 131 Dir in your .profile file which resides in your Home Dirctory

I am currently having 2 versions and it is working fine

Cheers
Naveen
