Err.. why? $ rpm -ql java-1_5_0-sun-devel|grep -w javac /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_06/bin/javac /usr/share/man/man1/javac-java-1_5_0-sun.1.gz The java-1_5_0-sun-devel package has the javac compiler. It's the same scheme for 1.4.2 and 1.5.0: - - java-VERSION-sun: that's the JRE - - java-VERSION-sun-devel: that's the javac compiler and JNI - - java-VERSION-sun-alsa: ALSA support for the Java Sound API - - java-VERSION-sun-plugin: the Java plugin for browsers (and a few more: -demo, -jdbc, -src) (and where "VERSION" is either "1_4_2" or "1_5_0") Why do you say that Java 5 supplied on SUSE 10.0 is only the JRE ? > essense all Java developers have to hack 10.0 and are always having to > resolve conflicts in the system.

Works very well here on 10.0, I have both 1_4_2 and 1_5_0 installed, and I compile quite a lot of Java code (and Eclipse, and JBoss, and Tomcat, and Spring, ...). cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEJG+Pr3NMWliFcXcRAqU0AKCdzQPJqAHUNaNRJmega+320HZylQCeKyID 8lfXiq1XkVBiv7hSUdinT7c= =SWaO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
