Re: Java problem

Fedora is a community project - if people want to pitch in to integrate
Sun's Java more easily, great, I'm all for it.

As it is distributed, the license is still restrictive and none of the
repositories will touch the packaging which means that you have to get
the software from Sun and rely upon their assistance (which is minimal)
to install / integrate.

In the meantime, Red Hat and Fedora are distributing a free version that
mostly works, on all platforms, without restrictive licensing, thereby
providing a working Tomcat, Eclipse, etc. I guess I fail to see what the
complaint is.

I don't recall ever seeing you post on something that you couldn't get
done with the GCJ version so I suspect that you are just downloading and
playing with the Sun version of Java because you think you need to do
that.

To the OP, I think I gave you a reasonable method to install either
Sun's JDK or JRE and to create the environmental variables so that each
user has full access to the Sun version.

Actually, Sun's Java is very easy to install and configure on both 32
and 64 bit. The only real problem is the lack of a 64bit browser
plugin and as far as I can tell nspluginwrapper doesn't work with the
32bit version.

I did a short page on how to set up Sun's Java on F8;
