Hi,
My name is Jacob Nikom. I tried to download JDK 1.2 for Linux and got
some problems with java files. I got very strange content of the /jdk1.2/bin
directory:
//homes/nikom/work/java/bin/jdk1.2/bin ls -l

As you see all files point to the .java_wrapper file which does not exist.
Obviously nothing runs. Also all tools have extension _g - is it correct?
This is the description of what I have done to get into this stage:
1. When to the site
http://www.blackdown.org/
2. When to the "Download the JDK for Linux" link
3. Found appropriate ftp site
3. Went to the JDK1.2/i386/pre-v2/glibc2.1 directory
4. Middle clicked on jdk1.2pre-v2-debug.tar.bz2 file
5. Menu opened - downloaded the file into directory
/homes/nikom/work/java/bin/
6. Unzipped the file with bzcat
bzcat jdk1.2pre-v2-debug.tar.bz2 > jdk1.2pre-v2-debug.tar
7. Untared the file
tar xvf jdk1.2pre-v2-debug.tar
8. Set up the path
set path = (/homes/nikom/work/java/bin/jdk1.2/bin $path)
9. Looked at the directory /homes/nikom/work/java/bin/jdk1.2/bin
10. Found strange things
I have done all this actions two times and got identical results.
(I run latest Red Hat Linux 5.3 release with Gnome user interface)
Do you know what is the problem?
Thank you,
Jacob Nikom
