java for linux
- Thread starter sonun
- Start date
Hi,
There are a few javas for linux. The most pure in the gpl sense are blackdown from --> and kaffe from --> A lot of distros, including redhat, ship with a kaffe rpm so you could maybe start by installing that.
Of course, there is also the original sun java as long as you are happy with the license . As you can see from this --> the tomcat people seem to recommend using the sun jdk . I have to admit thats the one I'm using at the moment - the setup is as simple as installing a rpm and then setting a couple of environment variables. I've also used blackdown in the past without too many problems.
There's also IBM's java stuff for linux -->
Hope this helps

ifincham ,
I managed to install Java through the RPM and it now sits on /usr and the complete path to java binary looks like /usr/java/jdk1.3.0_02/bin/java
I have also made an entry into the /etc/profile file to allow users to have access to those binaries.
I would like to know if the currnt installation follows the right installation practices..specifically if Java has been installed in the right place.
I read a couple of documents and Im not sure if java should go under /usr or /usr/local
Advice solicited
regards
