Hi there! Is anyone of you using JDK 1.3 with SuSE Linux 7.2? If I get it right, the version included is 1.1.8, isn´t it? How can I upgrade to JDK 1.3? I need this to get a piece of software running under SuSE 7.2. Is there any RPM available in order to upgrade? I know that there is an upgrade on Suse´s ftp-server but it is for version 1.1.8, I believe!?

My experience is that the Sun JVM 1.3.1 isn't very good, and to use the IBM or Blackdown JRE or JVMs. I am running the BlackDown one now (www.blackdown.org) and it runs great! All you do is untar the file in someplace like /usr/local, and then add the bin directory to your path. Mine is: /usr/local/java/bin, but it untars with a different name, that I happily renamed :-) Good luck! -Steven

Do you want Java 1.1.8 or Java2? For 1.1.8 use the included blackdown version (update to 1.1.8v3 on ftp.suse.com). For Java2 use included IBM Java2/JRE/JDK or included Sun Java2 JRE/JDK. The JDK 1.3.1 from Sun came a little too late, the RPM on their website will work. Sun is working on some hotspot issues (which also appear on redhat 7.1, I tested it to have a comparison, just in case) in this release, but yo may not ever see them, the normal test cases run smoothly.
Hi Claude, I don't have 7.2, but I _do_ have 7.1, and I develop under several different versions of the JDK, from 1.1.8 to 1.4 beta. I suggest that you download the JDK 1.3 from Sun as a zipped tarball, and unpack it wherever makes the most sense for you. The JDK 1.1.8 is installed in /usr/lib/jdk1.1.8, and a symlink /usr/lib/java points to the current JDK in use. You can change the symlink as root to point to the new JDK, and all should be well. Note that this may cause problems for Jserv under Apache, in that case you will have to do more work. The java symlink is reset by SuSEConfig, however, to always point to JDK1.1.8 (This is a major pain - I am not sure why this was done). You may want to change this behaviour, but I just reset the symlink myself, since I do that anyway for testing on various JDKs. Again, this if for SuSE 7.1, not 7.2, but I hope that this helps. -ronc On Thursday 21 June 2001 17:26, Claude Hoffmann wrote:
