James, If you're using 'bash' as your login shell (the thingie that gives you a prompt - in DOS it's 'command.com'), you can set your path like so: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/jdk1.2/bin then try running 'java' again. To test that it's working on some level, try running 'java -version'

Sorry but I'm getting nowhere here. I run 'java' and './java' from /usr/share/jdk1.2/bin and the system says file 'java' not found. Do I have to fiddle around with .java_wrapper, in some way? Blackdown's documentation seems quite inadequate especially to a beginner like me who is more used to t

Yes, the Unix/Linux versions of Java are a bit different from the Win32 versions with regard to the directory structure. With regard to the scripts in /bin, they work a bit of magic to figure out some things and set up the execution environment properly (a very nice convenience, really, as it wou

Ahhh! I understand. I think. So, although java, javac etc. are not physically in jdk1.2/bin the wrapper redirects to the appropriate version in the green & native directories. I don't see how it does that but so long as it does I don't mind. I was basing my knowledge of the jdk on the director

That's strange as the Blackdown distribution says that jdk1.2 does not need for any environment variables to be set such as JAVA_HOME. In fact I ran "java -version" from inside /usr/share/jdk1.2/bin/i386/native_threads where the java executable resides and for good measure also ran it with lib
