    Hi,
    I have Redhat AS 3.0, and on this machine, java is configured strangely:
    /usr/bin/javac is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/javac, which is a
    symlink to /usr/share/java/libgcj-java-placeholder.sh
    And, when I do a java -version, I get:

    libgcj-java-placeholder.sh

    This script is a placeholder for the /usr/bin/java and /usr/bin/javac
    master links required by jpackage.org conventions. libgcj's
    rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools are now slave symlinks to these
    masters, and are managed by the alternatives(8) system.

    This change was necessary because the rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools
    installed by previous versions of libgcj conflicted with symlinks
    installed by jpackage.org JVM packages.

    I tried installing the java rpm, but that didn't solve this. Any
    suggestions?
