Something to watch out for is the java 1.4.x version from 9.3 seems to have been 32 bit (I do not work with code on that machine so the Java aetup was a little basic), and the update installation from 9.3 retained the 32 bit stuff,
Yes, I have both 1.4.2 and 1.5 on the 9.3 - packman IIRC. Amazingly, it all seems to work in normal use. And yes, I think it is 32-bit.
I recently upgraded to 1.5.x on 10.2 which is 64 bit java and result was a little messy, not everything adjusted to the change in setup. With odd and sods linking into the 32bit library structure. I think I have fixed it, but I did not take notes on what ended up being not quite right....
I belong to the "don't upgrade a Suse system, do a clean install" school of thought, so hopefully that's one problem I won't hit. It's one thing I miss from using Debian, where I did trust the upgrade process, but there were so many other things I didn't like :( OTOH, I did select the "install the 32 bit stuff as well" option when I installed 10.2 on my test system, so I'll have to see what Java packages that has translated into.
