This is correct.

This is *not* the directory you should be running the binary from.
You should be running it from ..../jdk1.2/bin
The things in that directory are links to scripts that set up the correct
environment (including the LD path, class paths, etc) such that the JVM
will work. They then run the correct binary from either the native or
green threads directory for the correct CPU type of your system.

Again, it is best if you don't set them. If you look at the wrapper scripts
you will see that if you set them the scripts will blindly use your settings
which means that if you get them wrong (or you change JVMs bot not all of the
settings) that you will cause things to fail.
