Re: java 2RE


Could some kind person please jog my memory. I have a vague recollection
that, before java 2RE can be used, it is necessary to make a selection
using a terminal. My problem is that I cannot remember what needs to be
entered.

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Thanks so far, now, my next question. There are 2 possible downloads
from the Java website one described as self extracting and the other as
RPM. I think I should use the RPM version as this seems to put the
various files where needed in the system whereas the self extracting
seems not to do this. I would be most grateful for your expert opinion
please.

Norman
