Changing from Java 1.4 to Java 1.5 using Yast
Hi I just finished an install SuSE 10 from the Eval-DVD. It came with Java 1.4 but I also need 1.5. If possible I woild like to keep both. I know that 1.5 is available from the ftp site. Can I just change my install location in YAST to one of the mirrors and install 1.5 and when I am done switch back to install source to DVD? Do I have to do some more manipulation? Is there a README somewhere? thanks in advance -H

I don't know if there's much documentation on this, but you can use update-alternatives from the command-line (as root) to change from 1.4 to 1.5 as and wehn required. There is a man page for update-alternatives. -- JDL
