[rhn-users] Newbie: Installing jdk1.5.0_06 on FC3

[Florez, Nestor]

OK,
 
Are you compiling something from scratch or are you running an existing application?
If you are running an existing application it might not be compatible with you java version.

Thanks Paul,

I tried do that right away... with no success, however. Do you know a way to determine whether I got javax.* anyway? I mean: it should have been installed w/ the jdk distribution in the first place, as far as I got it, but ~ who knows?

Dear Colleagues,

I'm a bloody java beginner and got an installation/configuration problem. I downloaded and installed sun's jdk1.5.0_06 to my FC3 box in /usr/share/jdk1.5.0_06/. I fiddled around with the symlinks to point to the binaries in .../bin/ and javac etc. now run. However, I get a 

java.lang.ClassCastException: SwingUI
        at sun.applet.AppletPanel.createApplet(AppletPanel.java:721)
        at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(AppletPanel.java:650)
        at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:324)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)

when I try to view the class built from the simple code at the end of this message with appletviewer (all of the code there for completeness). I do think java doesn't find javax.* - and don't know how to tell it where it is. I've set my 

JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/jdk1.5.0_06/

(that's where my installation is).

Any idea what is going wrong here? (I posted a similar question to the parallel sun-list, but got no solution from there...)

THX, Peter
