This usually works for me too; you may even be able to find the package
and uninstall it... kaffe is part of my mandrake distro, tho I use Sun's
(blackdown's, that is!) jdk. For most purposes, changing your unix
environment PATH should suffice. I have had to use CLASSPATH only for
auxillary java libraries (extra API that I installed by hand).
However, I'm not using that most-recent jvm... but have my desired
jvm in the beginning of my PATH:
% /usr/bin/java -version
Kaffe Virtual Machine

Engine: Just-in-time v3 Version: 1.0.6 Java Version: 1.1
% java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0, mixed mode)
now a question: has anyone got hardware acceleration in xfree4 going with
java3d?? I have only gotten mesa-software so far, but it should work.
Maybe I'll help on a demo once I finger it out : )
happy javination
