Re: [opensuse] Editting PATH variable

I too am bemused. I think the insistence that the PATH is irrelevant comes
because you are thinking of the various java apps one might be using, rather
than the java executable. I am thinking of the latter alone, and PATH is
convenient, if not necessary.
I believe you are confusing PATH with the links SUSE uses for java.
Please check, in a console as root, update-alternatives --help, which
will give you some good help in understanding the equivalent of PATH for
java. Try update-alternatives --display java to get an idea of all that
is involved. You had problems because you installed a fedora rpm
instead of a SUSE.
