Problem with java after upgrading from FC2 to FC3

[Colin Paul Adams]

The following script would work OK under FC2:

#!/bin/bash

 java -cp /usr/src/saxon811/saxon8.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform $*

But under FC3 I get the following:

libgcj-java-placeholder.sh

This script is a placeholder for the /usr/bin/java
master link required by jpackage.org conventions.  libgcj's
rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools are now slave symlinks to these
masters, and are managed by the alternatives(8) system.

This change was necessary because the rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools
installed by previous versions of libgcj conflicted with symlinks
installed by jpackage.org JVM packages.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: method java.io.File.toURI was not found.

   at net.sf.saxon.Transform.doMain(java.lang.String[], java.lang.String) (Unknown Source)
   at net.sf.saxon.Transform.main(java.lang.String[]) (Unknown Source)

What's needed to get things working again?
