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? /peter Mallasch, Paul wrote: <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid5303BDF3F253554E889BE362FA0C604EE56255@MAIL1.TecturaCorp.net"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; "> <title></title> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2873" name="GENERATOR"> <div dir="ltr" align="left">I've had to also put Java in the path.</div> <div dir="ltr" align="left"> </div> <div dir="ltr" align="left">export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH</div> <div> </div> <o:SmartTagType name="City" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"></o:SmartTagType><o:SmartTagType name="place" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" downloadurl="http://www.5iantlavalamp.com/"></o:SmartTagType> <style>st1\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#ieooui) } </style> <style>@page Section1 {size: 8.5in 11.0in; margin: 1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin: .5in; mso-footer-margin: .5in; mso-paper-source: 0; } P.MsoNormal { FONT-SIZE: 12pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; mso-style-parent: ""; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman" } LI.MsoNormal { FONT-SIZE: 12pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; mso-style-parent: ""; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman" } DIV.MsoNormal { FONT-SIZE: 12pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; mso-style-parent: ""; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman" } DIV.Section1 { page: Section1 } </style> <div class="Section1"> <div> -paul </div> </div> <div class="OutlookMessageHeader" lang="en-us" dir="ltr" align="left"> <hr tabindex="-1">From: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:rhn-users-bounces@redhat.com">rhn-users-bounces@redhat.com</a> [<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="mailto:rhn-users-bounces@redhat.com">mailto:rhn-users-bounces@redhat.com</a>] On Behalf Of Peter Kühnlein Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 11:50 AM To: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:rhn-users@redhat.com">rhn-users@redhat.com</a> Subject: [rhn-users] Newbie: Installing jdk1.5.0_06 on FC3 </div> 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...)
