Hi Anton, Unfortunately it's been a couple of years since I've touched Linux (I'm lurking here to get a feel for the community as we may hopefully be replacing some of our Win2K servers with Linux in the near future) so I really have no idea where your older version might be hidden.
If it's still your "default" java (i.e., "java -jar anyj4.3.7-linux.jar" still barfs), you should be able to locate it with ls -l `which java` following which I would be tempted to rm -rf all sign of it and replace the sym link (if it is one) with a link to 1.4.2. Or there may be someone else on the list more familiar with contemporary Java issues ... ? Cheers, Roy.
