I have working copies of both J2EE RI and Weblogic 5.1 on this Linux box.
That's not the problem. The problem is that your distribution only expands
properly on Solaris, as far as I can tell. I tried running the Solaris .sh
version on Linux, and it just says it's corrupted. Then I downloaded the .exe
version, and tried running it on an NT4 SP3 box. That also failed, complaining
of corruption. I tried downloading the .exe a second time in case there really
was some kind of corruption, and still it wouldn't unpack. So, I went over to
the University to pull it down and install on a Solaris machine. That worked.
I then re-packaged it as a .tgz file, and downloaded that. The .tgz version
works fine on my Linux system. It's also noticeably smaller than either the .sh
or the .exe. The only possible trouble I can see with it is that it doesn't put
the license in my face when I expand it. It's hard to see what that adds, since
I had to get past the license in order to download it in the first place. Major
overkill?
The bottom line is, without access to the Solaris system, I would be dead in the
water. Worse, I couldn't just log in with telnet and ftp your Solaris version,
because I couldn't see how to get there with ftp. So, I had to use a browser on
Solaris. Major inconvenience. You should see Netscape running in a remote
X-window over an ISDN connection.
