Hey mates,<br><br>I need to inquire about two issues in particular regarding JDK... Firstly, so that you can understand my background:<br><br>- I'm running FedoraCore 5<br>- In the FC installation, I installed the regular Java Development libs & tools (such as eclipse, gcj, ...etc)
<br>- I downloaded and installed the JDK1.5 and the JVM from Sun Microsystems, Inc.<br>- I removed all the java related bins in the /usr/bin folder, then recreated the links to the new bins in the /usr/java/jdk1.4.0/bin library to make the javac, java, jar, javah... etc commands use the new JDK
<br><br>Now here's my problems:<br><br>A) When i create a jar file (ex: jar -cf Anyfile.jar Anyclass.class), the manifest file created with it (META-INF/MANIFEST) lists:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: courier new,monospace;">
Manifest-Version: 1.0</span><br style="font-style: italic; font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: courier new,monospace;">Created-By: <span style="font-weight: bold;">0.92-gcc</span>
</span><br></div>where you see, that my problem is that the manifest file was created by "gcc" apparently, and not <font size="4"><font style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" size="2">1.5.0_01 (Sun Microsystems
</font><font size="2"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> Inc.)</span></font></font><font size="4"><font size="2"> which should have been the case... so, how can i change the manifest file maker?<br><br>B) When developing this simple program to test reading & writing to an input device keda bagaraboh that replaces the keyboard for the (
<a href="http://System.in">System.in</a>), i get this message when compiling with javac... However, this message is not an error, it is just a note... the program DOES compile, yet i don't know what is causing the bloody note...
