Re: Fwd: Bash script to run OpenJUMP on Linux...

I've recently installed the Java 1.5 packages for Debian. I'm trying

can get it runnging.) I'm
trying to launch the program, but I'm running into some trouble.

I think I've tracked my problem down to a compatability problem with
my installed JVM and the program I'd like to run. I read that you
should be albe to run Java programs compiled for Java 1.4 on a Java
1.5 JRE, but perhaps that doesn't work with Debian?

There may be another reason why my script isn't working. I have
attached the script and the error message it generates. If anyone is
familiar with this problem and can take a look at the script I'd
appreciate it. (The script is short.) :]

I can add a section to the Debian wiki explaining how to launch a Java
program on Debian if I can figure this out.

I couldn't tell you exactly why your script does not work. What I can tell you is that as far as I know, compatibility is never supposed to break from earlier versions of a JDK to a later one (all of the program that I've ran or written that work in the earliest versions of the JDK still work in most recent versions without fault). I don't think that your problem has to do with JDK versions.

If you really want to make sure, you can get any version of the JDK at http://java.sun.com/downloads/ (http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Debian_Java_JRE/JDK_installation tells you how to "package" the JDK in a debian way). I would just download the JDK (or JRE) in which the program is supposed to run and see if you don't get the same error as before.

I wont guess as to your error, but I hope you are able to find a solution. Good luck.
