I think you only need to set the /etc/.profile, since there is probably a
cron system user. With my limit Solaris experience I don't recall seeing a
cron user in /home
As Mike pointed out set the $PATH environment variable. I generally end up
setting $JAVA_HOME as well.
Your example :
>JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2;
>export JAVA_HOME
>PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH;
>export PATH
looks correct. Try from your user account running 'source /etc/.profile'.
That should read an execute .profiles(not sure if its a bash command)
Enter 'java -version' it should show J2SDK1.4.2_14 as opposed to Java 5
version info. Info not environment variables were not overridden.

If you have something tough, give it to the Americans. If you have something
difficult, give it to the Indians. If you have something impossible, give it
to the Russians
