Hi,

I am on a default install of SuSE 9.3 Pro.

I would like to use the java compiler, specifically the command 'javac' to compile some *.java programs. Is the required software present in the 9.3 Pro edition?

Yes. You have a choice of Java 2 1.4 or Java 2 5.0 (aka 1.5.0). You can install both and use update-alternatives (man update-alternatives) to switch between them. In any case javac should be available as /usr/bin/javac and /usr/bin is normally on the PATH. -- JDL
