I see two java's listed there.
/usr/lib/jre-1_5_0_08/bin
and
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_09/bin
Not sure which of those is the invalid identifier.
ls -d /usr/java should tell you which java directories are there. Hopefully
09 is one of those. If so pick that directories bin directory. (make sure
the syntax is correct.
My which java points to
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java
my $PATH points to
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin
As you can see I haven't upgraded my java but I doubt it has changed that
much.
Hope that helps.
