I by-pass the X resource stuff (which I haven't quite figured out) and
use the following in my .shrc
# for non-X sessions use Java 1.1.8
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.8; export JAVA_HOME
# adjust TERM to color xterm under X
# use linux Java under X
if [ $TERM = "xterm" ]; then
TERM=xterm-color; export TERM
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/linux-jdk1.3.0; export JAVA_HOME
fi
# add appropriate java to path
JAVA_PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin
PATH=$JAVA_PATH:$PATH; export PATH
This allows me to do two things:
1) display color directory listings in Gnome-Term, rxvt, and/or eterm;
and
2) switch my java from 1.1.8 to the linux-1.3.0 for all my X sessions
(so that Star Office works somewhat better).
