Sorry I am unable to thread this message with those that have gone before. I 
have to use a different mail client, which is a consequence of the progress 
of "Jikes".

To review: I had been unable to install Jikes, and Bogdan was kind enough to 
direct me to 
<http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/index.jsp?searchTerm=Jikes&distro=openSUSE_102>, 
which contains a pointer to a site at which the jikes package is available. I 
found and selected the x86_64 flavor of the program, to match my hardware.

Installing the package seemed successful (there was a notice announcing this). 
I rebooted, to  assure myself that the installation actually "took". 
Writing "jikes" in the Search field of the lizard menu brought up a line 
reading <Run 'usr/bin/jikes'>, and I clicked on it -- which produced nothing 
visible. (Running jikes with no arguments is supposed to bring up a help 
screen).

Much worse, the three Java programs on which I rely no longer start; clicking 
on their desktop icons does nothing whatever. Apparently jikes, which is 
itself a Java program has done somehow screwed up the Java installation.

I tried to start one of the java programs manually, by which is easy to do, 
and which I have done before. The result is as follows:

I have no idea how to proceed in this case, and would be grateful for any 
advice or comment.
