Randall, Sorry, I missed this in a flurry on some other stuff. Found javac on SuSE 9.3. See "Finally found it", below. Thanks again! On Saturday 23 July 2005 08:54, Randall R Schulz wrote:

Thanks. I was contemplating adding parts of /user/share/javadoc to my htdig.conf.
That sounds like a reasonable strategy, though I've never tried it myself. It's actually what i went with in the end. If you'd ever like to try it i can pass you a relevant htdig.conf and /etc/apache2/default-server.conf which you can adapt to your own machine(s).
I have jedit-4.1-46 installed. Will try it.
The current stable jEdit release is 4.2 and 4.3pre2 is perfectly serviceable. If you find jEdit to be to your taste, then I'd suggest getting the latest from the jEdit web site: <http://www.jedit.org/>. Looks slick. Downloading now...

04 what suse 9.3 app/prog can be used in place of javac?
SuSE 9.3 includes gcj, which is the Gnu Compiler system front-end and libraries for Java. It is incomplete w.r.t. to the full set of Java libraries and standard extensions. To experiment with it, install these packages
libgcj-3.3.5-5 libgcj-devel-3.3.5-5
Both were installed during a shatgun install binge I did to try get the packages I needed. Will check them out further.
If you're just getting started with Java, the GCJ will only be a considerable further complication. I'd avoid it for now, since it's extremely unlikely that it gives you anything you really need right now (e.g., static native compilation).
SuSE 9.3 also includes Jikes, the pedantic compiler from IBM:
jikes-1.22-3
No jikes installed. If gcj doesn't do the trick, i'll try that later...
Jikes is compatible with the Sun compilers and the full language. It compiles faster (well, at one time it did, but Sun's javac has improved a lot in recent years) and as I hinted, is extremely unforgiving about the details of the Java Language Specification. That's probably its main claim to fame.

Note the SuSE 9.3 includes both the 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 SDKs.
Noted. (Seen them both before, but wasn't sure
"man java" says see also "javac(1)", but i can't find any reference or package that provides it via "yast2 sw_single".
Hmmm... I never bothered to look, but my 9.3 installation, for which I included everything even vaguely Java-specific, there is both a "java" and a "javac" man page.
In fact, there are quite a few java-related man pages:
% apropos java |wc -l 89
Finally found it: $ rpm -ql java-1_4_2-sun-devel-1.4.2.06-4 | grep javac /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-sun-1.4.2.06/bin/javac /usr/share/man/man1/javac-java-1.4.2-sun.1.gz yast2 was previously claiming a conflict with java-1_4_2-sun-1.4.2.08x ^ It complained about installing the -devel- pkgs unless i "downgraded" to java-1_4_2-sun-1.4.2.06-4, which i didn't do the first time. When i did, just now -- while trying to install jai for another project's requirements -- javac was found. Now just have to figure out how to get jai working - more RTFMs ahead.
