FC3 uses the alternatives package to allow you to switch between different versions of Java. Try reading the manual on alternatives. I used the following steps to configure Java on my FC3 box:

alternatives --remove java /usr/share/java/libgcj-java-placeholder.sh
alternatives --remove javac /usr/share/java/libgcj-javac-placeholder.sh
alternatives --remove jar /usr/bin/fastjar
alternatives --remove jar.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/fastjar.1.gz
alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/bin/java 1
alternatives --config java

Run this as root and adjust your paths to where your JDK is located.

OK, if I run /usr/java/jrel1.5.0_01/bin/java -jar SoftSqueeze.jar I then get
"Error starting SoftSqueeze"

Subject: [slim] Problems running SoftSqueeze with FC3


Please be patient with me, it's a long time since I've used Unix/Linux and I'm trying out FC3 to see what I'm missing.

I've downloaded SoftSqueeze and installed in /usr/local/SoftSqueeze,
downloaded Java 1.5 (only to find it was already installed in /usr/java/jre
etc.

I'm now trying to run SoftSqueeze from the SoftSqueeze directory by
executing java -jar SoftSqueeze.jar

After a long message about this script being a placeholder, I get a message
saying "Failed to find SoftSqueeze libraries".

So what am I doing wrong?  I can't find any other instructions for
installing and running SoftSqueeze.  Assuming I can actually get it to run
at all, how do I get it to run by double-clicking?

Thanks.
