It installs a slightly different version of Java (GCJ) that some applications do not recognize. Being a Noob, the easiest way to do this is by using Synaptic Package Manager from the System > Administration menu. The package that you will want is called sun-java6-jre. I installed the plugin and the jdk (Java Developer Kit) at the same time.
Once you've installed this, you will want to break out your favorite editor (you may not have one of these yet, being new. If not, open a terminal window and type "sudo gedit /etc/jvm" (without the quotes of course). This will open Gedit in administrative mode, allowing you to edit this file. You will note four lines of text commented out with a pound sign "#" followed by a space and then several lines of paths. You will want to put your curser where the space is and then hit Return to add another line of space. Into this empty line, you will paste the following, again without the quotes, "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun". Save and close Gedit and you are done. -- Rob Smith Sent from a PC Running TinyMe (PCLOS) 2008 Linux A compact Open Source alternative to the Microsoft Tax http://www.tinymelinux.com/doku.php --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ubuntu Linux" group.
