Oops, this is the second time I answer as the first one did not seem to
reach it's destination. I won't sign it this time to check it's not the
problem...

The script "java/bin/.java-somethingIdontRemember" to which point most
of
the /java/bin/... files has a problem: it begins in this way:  compute
J_HOME as the supposed location of the JDK progs
  if JAVA_HOME is not set
  then JAVA_HOME=$J_HOME
  fi
  ... same kinda things about CLASSPATH ...
  execute $J_HOME/program_asked_by_the_user
Even if JAVA_HOME is set, as long as you use a shell that does not
compute
J_HOME correctly (this is my case with JDK 1.0.2), it won't work. You
have
two solution: either you use another shell (zsh or tcsh may work), or
you
modify the script's structure in this way:
  compute J_HOME as the supposed location of the JDK progs
  if JAVA_HOME is not set
  then
     compute J_HOME as the supposed location of the JDK progs using
another
method or another shell
     JAVA_HOME=$J_HOME
  else J_HOME=$JAVA_HOME
  fi
  ... same kinda things about CLASSPATH ...
  execute $J_HOME/program_asked_by_the_user
Of course, adding the "else" part and setting correctly you JAVA_HOME in
you
.profile makes things even easier.
