Has someone already installed Forte and J2EE-IDE on a SUSE box? They are available in a RedHat RPM package, but my concerns is if this will work on SUSE too, or do I have to use the alien command (or anything else) on the RPM package in order to make it work on SUSE? Thanks in advance for any answer.
Yes, I installed it and it worked fine. I actually can't remember what I installed but it would have been the bog standard package dished out by Sun; I would have remembered doing anything clever.
However, it's astonishingly slow on my 650mhz 128MB laptop and only just about acceptable on my dual PIII 500mhz 256MB machine. I tried it for a while then went back to XEmacs.
Hello,
Thanks for your quick answer. It is a pitty you can't remember what you exactly installed. If it was the J2SE there are two possibilities: a RPM and a TAR version, which one was it, really can't remember? If it was the RPM , then it means I can install the J2EE RPM without any problems too.
Concerning the slow forte on 128 MB. That is normal. On the training center they confirmed that you need at least 256 MB, however there is a file called IDE.cfg under the bin directory (this is windows I'm talking here) which contains one line: jdkhome c:\JDK13^1.1 -J-Xmx256m -J... Change 256m to a little less then the amount of MB RAM you have. For example 100m. THis leaves some space for the other applications. This helps a lot, though don't expect a gigantic performance boost.
Thanks, greetings
Filip
